Editing Damage BarrierGive feedback

'''Damage Shields''' are pools of additional health that take damage before [[Health]] is reduced. There are two types of shields: [[Bullet Damage|Bullet]] Shields and [[Spirit Damage|Spirit]] Shields, each of which blocks only the respective damage types. [[Damage Resistance]]s do not apply to shields. Once damaged or fully depleted, they will fully recover after some time.

== Recovery ==
If not fully depleted, a shield will begin recovery if it has not been damaged in the past 20 seconds. This countdown will be interrupted by taking damage. 

If fully depleted, a shield will begin recovery after 50 seconds regardless of whether the player has taken the respective damage type recently. This recovery will persist for a few seconds even after the player has taken damage.

-'''Barriers''' are a temporary pool of additional health that takes damage before [[Health]] is reduced. Barriers block all incoming damage from any source, with [[Damage Resistance]]s applied.
-== Notes ==
+== Recovery ==
-* Damage to barriers is affected by [[Damage Reduction]] and [[Damage Amplification]].
+If not fully depleted, a shield will begin recovery if it has not been damaged in the past 20 seconds. This countdown will be interrupted by taking damage.
-* Any instance of excess damage dealt to completely destroy a barrier is then done to health. For example, a Dynamo with 100 barrier health and 0% [[Spirit Resist]] takes 168 spirit damage from Vindicta's Assassinate. 100 spirit damage will break Dynamo's barrier, the remaining 68 spirit damage is done to health.
-* Healing amplification and [[Healing Reduction]] effects have no effects on newly created barriers. The only thing that can affect value of a new barrier is {{HeroIcon|Rem}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Tag Along}}.
-* Bullets with {{ItemIcon|Armor Piercing Rounds}} can ignore barriers.
-* [[Pure Damage]] ignores barriers.
