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:
    • Grants the target an additional 60 shield. This overshield lasts for 20 / 30 / 30 s, or until removed through taking damage. Overshieild cannot be regenerated once removed through damage.
    • Instantly regenerates the targets shield to its maximum.
  • Neither the passive nor the active effect of the perk can stack.
  • If a teammate has less shield then their maximum, vertical blue lines will ascend from them, signifying that they can benefit from the perks passive effect.
