Editing Damage BarrierGive feedback

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

== Recovery ==
If not fully depleted, shields will begin recovery if they haven't been damaged in the past 20 seconds. This recovery will be interrupted by taking damage. 

If fully depleted, shields will begin recovery after 60 seconds regardless of if you've taken its respective damage type recently. This recovery will persist for a few seconds even after you've taken damage.

+Damage Shields are pools of temporary health that take damage before your [[Health]] is reduced. There are two types of shields: [[Bullet Damage|Bullet]] Shields and [[Spirit Damage|Spirit]] Shields which block only their respective damage types. [[Damage Resistance|Damage Resistances]] do not apply to shields. Once damaged or fully depleted, they will fully recover after some time.
-'''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, shields will begin recovery if they haven't been damaged in the past 20 seconds. This recovery 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.
