Changes: Shield

Revision as of 18:35, 16 April 2021

This article is about passive shields added by body shields. For active shields used while downed, see Knockdown Shield. For Gibraltar's shield abilities, see Gibraltar. For other uses, see Shield (disambiguation).

Shields are a buffer that absorb damage before a legend starts losing health. Shields are gained by equipping a Body Shield, which grants the player anywhere from 2-4 bars (depending on rarity) or an Evo Shield, which grants 2-5 bars (depending on the Evo stage); each bar absorbs 25 points of damage. They do not automatically regenerate (with the exception of Wattson's Spark of Genius and Interception Pylon), but can be replenished by using shield-restoring items or by equipping an undamaged body shield or Evo shield. Furthermore, Finishers successfully executed completely refills your shield health.

Shields do not absorb damage from the Ring or Caustic's Nox Gas.

Shield-restoring items

Shield-restoring items can be found across the map. They can be used, when shields are damaged, via the inventory or health kits menu. Using a restoring item takes several seconds and slows down your movement and disables other actions while being used but can be canceled if needed.

The following items restore shields:

Shield Cell [25 shields (50 with Gold Armor), 3 seconds]
Shield Battery (100% shields, 5 seconds)
Phoenix Kit (100% shields and health, 10 seconds)
