Construct: Protective Scales is a Level 120 enemy, and this cannot be reduced in any way. Defeating this enemy completes one of the four challenges in the 'Snowy Trails' sub-quest in the Tales of Mt. Firmament event.

Construct: Protective Scales is a special version of Lumiscale Construct. It is surrounded by a shield that stops players from effectively dealing damage to it. You must wait for it to expose its core, which it does after every attack or when it is stunned. That will be your window to deal significant damage to this opponent. Being at Level 120 makes Construct: Protective Scales one of the hardest foes in Wuthering Waves.
