Shield

See: Divergent Shield

 Shield creates a one-time-use shield for a target that nullifies damage once up to a percentage of the caster's maximum HP.

Mechanics

• If more damage is taken than a 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.

Shield Stacking

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.
  • Using the previous example, 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 adventurer is under the effects of a damage-over-time affliction (such as Burn, Poison, Paralysis, etc), that affliction will deal damage to the Life Shield. However, it will NOT consume normal or divergent shields after the Life Shield has been depleted, and the adventurer will instead take the affliction's damage to their HP directly.

Skills that apply Shield onto the user

Name	Adventurers with Skill	Weapons with Skill	Dragons with Skill
Code 03: Rise GeneratorLv. 3: Grants the user a one-use shield that nullifies damage less than 30% of the user's maximum HP and immunity to knockback for 15 seconds. If the user has Master Control, a variant called Code 08: Execution will be used instead. In addition to this skill's base effects, Code 08: Execution also grants the user the "Amplified Current" effect for 11 seconds. During Amplified Current, the user's standard attacks are buffed and hit more times per attack. [3840 SP]	Gala Mascula	-	-
Kurikara GustLv. 2: Deals 6 hits of 417% wind damage to the target and nearby enemies, inflicts stormlash for 21 seconds - dealing 41% wind damage every 2.9 seconds - with 120% chance and grants the user the "Mantra of Compassion" effect. [30 SP]	-	-	Fudo Myo-o
Onmyoji IncantationLv. 3: If the user does not have an active flame shikigami: summons a flame shikigami for 40 seconds. If the user has an active flame shikigami: grants the user a one-use shield that nullifies damage up to 20% of the user's maximum HP. This shield does not stack with any other shields of the same type. The flame shikigami will automatically attack foes every 1.01 seconds dealing 162% flame damage and restoring 100 SP per hit, but each attack will deplete the user's shikigami gauge by 6 CP. Once the flame shikigami's attacks hit enemies 15 times, it will level up to level two. Upon leveling up, its 40-second timer will reset, and its attacks will deal 486% flame damage, restore 200 SP and deplete 4 CP instead. In addition, its attacks will reduce enemies' defense by 10% for 10 seconds with 35% chance. This defense reduction will not stack. The shikigami's automatic damage will not be treated as skill damage, dragon damage, standard attack damage, or force strike damage. The shikigami can score critical hits. [2649 SP]	Seimei	-	-
Soul BenedictionLv. 2: Grants the user the "Gabriel's Blessing" effect for 40 seconds. During Gabriel's Blessing, the user's strength is increased by 50%, their defense is increased by 20%, and damage less than 15% of the user's maximum HP is nullified. These effects do not stack, and are lost upon being attacked. [8534 SP]	Pinon	-	-
