Defensively, Ingsmashers are capable of raising shields of light or dark energy that make these already resilient Mechanoids even more difficult to take down, though they can be overloaded by a beam of the opposite polarity.<ref name="Logbook" /> While they are capable of taking numerous hits before succumbing to the damage, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] is capable of destroying an Ingsmasher instantly with a [[Power Bomb]], even with their shields activated.

*Ingsmashers share several similarities with [[Elite Pirate]]s. Both are armed with shoulder-mounted concussive weapons that can be destroyed, both are capable of generating shock waves, though the Ingsmasher can generate them at a much higher speed. Ingsmashers are Elite Pirates are also capable of rendering themselves invulnerable to attack, though the Ingsmashers shields can be overloaded while the Elite Pirate will only deactivate their energy siphon system when they choose to.
