Red color which only appears when body parts are struck with a weapon (can be hard to see). Applied with BSL function <code>chr_boss_shield</code>. Reduces damage from weapons but not melee. The damage reduction factor is set in ONCC's <BossShieldProtectAmount> field. The only characters in vanilla Oni who are given a boss shield are Barabas (2nd fight at TCTF HQ), Mukade, Muro (2nd fight at Mountain Compound) and Mutant Muro. For Barabas and Mukade the damage reduction factor is 50%, for Muro it's 75%, and for Mutant Muro it's 85%. For all other characters in the game, it's 50%.

Activated with the "chenille" cheat code. You will see the Daodan aura if a character has one (true for Konoko, who glows blue, Muro who glows red, and Mutant Muro who has orbs and rising waves around him). Oddly, the cheat says "Daodan Power Enabled" when used, but this is <u>not</u> Daodan overpower mode, which does extra melee damage. What this cheat <u>will</u> do for you is grant you a boss shield. It will also permanently activate the supershield if the character has the <HasSupershield> flag.
The "chenille" cheat code grants a character two things: the [[Daodan#Chenille glow|Daodan chenille effect]] and a boss shield, or in Mutant Muro's case, a supershield. Chenille can applied via BSL with the functions <code>chr_super</code> (for the glow effect) and <code>chr_boss_shield</code>, but there is no BSL equivalent for giving a character the supershield that Mutant Muro possesses.


The Daodan glow alone can be activated with BSL function <code>chr_super</code> without triggering a shield or overpower mode.
You will only see the Daodan aura if a character has one; this is true for Konoko who glows blue, Muro who glows red, and Mutant Muro who is surrounded by orbs and rising waves. Oddly, the cheat says "Daodan Power Enabled" when used, but this is <u>not</u> Daodan overpower mode, which does extra melee damage. It will only increase your defense by granting you a boss shield. It will also permanently activate the supershield if the character has the <HasSupershield> flag, as only Mutant Muro does.


Actual Daodan overpower mode can only be achieved with the use of hypos to overheal, but note that the potential for Daodan overpower mode must be set with the <HasDaodanPowers> flag in ONCC for this to be possible.
Recall from above that the Daodan glow alone can be activated with <code>chr_super</code> without triggering a shield or overpower mode. This is used to make Konoko glow in the opening cutscene to Chapter 14 when she falls from the sky (after the cutscene she is granted overpower by setting her health to maximum, replacing the <code>chr_super</code> glow with a "legitimate" glow).
 
Setting the character's health with <code>chr_set_health</code> is the only way to grant actual Daodan overpower mode to a character, but note that the potential for Daodan overpower mode must be set with the <HasDaodanPowers> flag in ONCC for this to be possible.
