Shield creates a one-time-use shield for a target that nullifies damage once up to a percentage of the caster's maximum HP.
- If more damage is taken than the shield can withstand, the shield will fail and full damage will be taken.
- For example: taking a 1,001-damage hit while having a shield that can withstand 1,000 damage will cause the unit to receive 1,001 damage, not 1 damage.
- If a damaging attack that would have dealt an affliction is nullified by a shield, the affliction will be nullified as well.
- If a non-damaging attack deals an affliction (for example: Volk's bombs when they are manually defused), the shield will not be consumed and will NOT nullify that affliction.
- Shields CANNOT nullify debuffs such as Defense Down or Enervation. Even if the attack that dealt these is nullified, the debuff will still be applied anyway.
- All effects that cause adventurers to inflict damage upon themselves, will ignore shields and consume HP normally.
Shields usually cannot stack with other Shields, but a variation called a Divergent Shield can stack with regular shields. Divergent Shields otherwise act the same as regular shields.
- However, Divergent shields cannot stack with each other.
If a Shield, Divergent Shield, and/or Life Shield are active simultaneously, they will be consumed with the following order of priority:
1. Life Shield
2. Normal Shield
3. Divergent Shield
- If the Life Shield loses all of its HP, the remaining damage will "bleed through" onto the other shields.
- If an adventurer has a Life Shield that can withstand 1,000 damage, and also has a regular shield, taking less than 1,000 damage will decrease the Life Shield's HP but will not affect the regular shield. Taking 1,001 damage instead will cause the remaining 1 damage to trigger the regular shield, consuming it.
- If an attack deals more damage than the regular shield can withstand, but less than the divergent shield can withstand, then the regular shield fails and the divergent shield is consumed at the same time.
- If an attack deals more damage than what both shields can withstand individually, both the shields are destroyed, and the full damage is taken.
