'''~~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. Melee Damage is also blocked by bullet shields.~~ [[Damage Resistance]]s ~~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 ==

* [[~~Troopers]], [[Guardian]]s, [[Walker~~]]~~s, the [[Patron]],~~ and [[~~Denizen~~]]~~s ignore shields and deal damage directly to health~~.

* Damage to barriers is affected by [[Damage Reduction]] and [[Damage Amplification]].

* Any instance of excess damage dealt to completely destroy a ~~shield~~ is then done to health.

* 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.

** For example, a Dynamo with 100 ~~spirit shield~~ health takes 168 spirit damage from Vindicta's Assassinate. 100 spirit damage will break Dynamo's ~~spirit shield~~, the remaining 68 spirit damage is ~~subject~~ to ~~spirit resist,~~ and ~~the final calculation~~ 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.

== ~~Recovery~~ ==

== Sources of Barriers ==

~~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.

~~Shields recover at a rate of 20% full shield health per second. This is the same regardless of whether a shield is fully depleted or not.~~
