Perk Breakdown

  • The Passive effect only affects Shield Regeneration Rate. It does not affect the Shield Regeneration Delay.
  • On use, the Active will have the following effects on the targeted dwarf:
    • Add 60 to the maximum shield value of the target (unlike the description it doesn’t really triple the shield value).
    • Instantly fill all shield up to the new maximum.
    • The overshield will stay up to 20 / 30 / 30 s.
    • If any damage is taken afterward, the shield will only regenerate up to its normal value. The extra shield will not regenerate.
  • Neither the passive nor the active effect of the perk can stack.
  • If a teammate is lacking part of their shields to benefit from the passive effect of Shield Link, vertical blue lines will ascend from them.
  • Shield link is effectively useless in solo.Needs Validation
