Shield
Shield is a temporary layer that absorbs incoming damage before shared team HP.
Balance 26Game 1.4.0
How it works
- Shield absorbs direct Damage before team HP.
- If a team has Shield when Burn, Poison, or Shock damage lands, that status damage is reduced by 15% before Shield absorbs it.
- Shield is separate from Protect: Shield absorbs damage, while Protect prevents Knockout.
