The Minion Shield is an item in Minion Rush. It is can be purchased once Nefario gives them the goal to purchase it. Afterwards, the item will appear randomly throughout each run. When the player's Minion runs into this item, he will be surrounded with a circular, transparent shield which protects them from one hit on any obstacle in their way. The Shield can be upgraded with the use of Banana, however, they only make the shield last longer. No upgrade allows the shield to protect the player's Minion from two or more hits.
