Shield
Type	Attributes Combat Game Systems

Shields are protective barriers that block damage to characters or enemies. Player character shields work differently from enemy shields. Below mostly discusses character shields. Enemy shields and breaking them are discussed in Shields/Enemy and Shields/Shield Gauge Data.

Character Shields

Characters can gain shields through the Crystallize Elemental Reaction or by using certain Talents or Weapons. These shields have a set amount of health determined when the shield is created; when the active character takes damage, damage is dealt to shield health first, and any excess damage after breaking the shield is dealt to the character's health. Shields often have intrinsic damage absorption bonuses that increase the amount of damage absorbed by each shield health point (usually against certain types of elemental damage).

Most shields gained by characters have a corresponding Element. Such elemental shields will have absorption bonuses against DMG of specific types: Geo shields gain 150% absorption bonus to all DMG types, while all other elemental shields gain 250% absorption bonus to their own element.

When a character has more than one shield, the damage dealt by an enemy will affect every active shield simultaneously.

Crystallize Shields

Main article: Crystallize

Shields gained from picking up the Elemental Shards dropped by Crystallize reactions have shield health based on the level and Elemental Mastery of the character that triggered the reaction. These shields additionally have 250% effectiveness against elemental damage of the same element; in other words, they only take 40% as much damage when absorbing damage of their own element.

$\text{HP}_\text{Crystallize Shield} = \text{HP}_\text{Base Crystallize Shield} \times (1 + \% \text{ EM Bonus})$

Base Crystallize Shield HP is only affected by the character level. For level scaling and other details, see Crystallize.

When the shield takes damage, the damage is scaled down based on the shield's elemental damage absorption bonuses and the active character's Shield Strength attribute.

$\text{DMG Taken}_\text{Crystallize Shield} = \frac{\text{DMG Incoming}}{(\% \text{Element Bonus}) \times (1 + \% \text{Shield Strength}_\text{Active Character})}$

If the damage exceeds the shield's health, the damage taken by character is the excess damage multiplied by the same shield bonus multipliers:

$\text{DMG Taken}_\text{Excess} = \text{DMG}_\text{Incoming Excess} \times (\% \text{Element Bonus}) \times (1 + \% \text{Shield Strength}_\text{Active Character})$

Talent Shields

Shields created by Talents and Constellations usually have health based on the character's DEF or Max HP. Shield damage is scaled down by any elemental damage absorption bonuses and the active character's Shield Strength attribute. Some character Talents and Constellations may grant additional damage absorption bonuses to shields generated by the character; these apply multiplicatively.

$\text{HP}_\text{Talent Shield} = \text{Stat} \times (\% \text{Talent Multiplier}) + \text{Additive Shield HP}$

The damage taken on talent shields is therefore:

$\text{DMG Taken}_\text{Talent Shield} = \frac{\text{DMG Incoming}}{( \% \text{Element Bonus}) \times (1 + \% \text{ Shield Strength}_\text{Active Character})}$

If the damage exceeds the shield's health, the damage taken by character is the excess damage multiplied by the same shield bonus multipliers:

$\text{DMG Taken}_\text{Excess} = \text{DMG}_\text{Incoming Excess} \times (\% \text{Element Bonus}) \times (1 + \% \text{ Shield Strength}_\text{Active Character})$

See Shields/Comparison for a comparison of character shield strength, duration and cooldown.

Talents that Generate Shields

There are 14 Talents that match the category selection:

Talent	Description	Type
Bewitching, Betwitching Tails Bewitching, Betwitching Tails Kirara	When Kirara is in the Urgent Neko Parcel state of Meow-teor Kick, each impact against an opponent will grant her a stack of Reinforced Packaging. This effect can be triggered once for each opponent hit every 0.5s. Max 3 stacks. When the Urgent Neko Parcel state ends, each stack of Reinforced Packaging will create 1 Shield of Safe Transport for Kirara. The shields that are created this way will have 20% of the DMG absorption that the Shield of Safe Transport produced by Meow-teor Kick would have. If Kirara is already protected by a Shield of Safe Transport created by Meow-teor Kick, its DMG absorption will stack with these shields and its duration will reset.	1st Ascension Passive
Blazing Blessing Blazing Blessing Thoma	Thoma vaults forward with his polearm and delivers a flame-filled flying kick that deals AoE Pyro DMG, while also summoning a defensive Blazing Barrier. At the moment of casting, Thoma's Elemental Skill applies Pyro to himself. The DMG Absorption of the Blazing Barrier scales off Thoma's Max HP. The Blazing Barrier has the following traits: Absorbs Pyro DMG 250% more effectively. When a new Blazing Barrier is obtained, the remaining DMG Absorption of an existing Blazing Barrier will stack and its duration will be refreshed.

Scorching Ooyoroi While Scorching Ooyoroi is in effect, the active character's Normal Attacks will trigger Fiery Collapse, dealing AoE Pyro DMG and summoning a Blazing Barrier. Fiery Collapse can be triggered once every 1s. Except for the amount of DMG they can absorb, the Blazing Barriers created in this way are identical to those created by Thoma's Elemental Skill, Blazing Blessing: Absorbs Pyro DMG 250% more effectively. When a new Blazing Barrier is obtained, the remaining DMG Absorption of an existing Blazing Barrier will stack and its duration will be refreshed. The maximum DMG Absorption of the Blazing Barrier will not exceed a certain percentage of Thoma's Max HP. If Thoma falls, the effects of Scorching Ooyoroi will be cleared.	Elemental Burst

The Stone Stele is considered a Geo construct that can both be climbed and used to block attacks. Only one Stele created by Zhongli himself may initially exist at any one time. Jade Shield Possesses 150% DMG Absorption against all Elemental and Physical DMG. Characters protected by the Jade Shield will decrease the Elemental RES and Physical RES of opponents in a small AoE by 20%. This effect cannot be stacked.	Elemental Skill

This will also briefly apply Dendro to Kirara. The shield will absorb Dendro DMG with 250% effectiveness. The shield's DMG absorption will be based on Kirara's Max HP and will not exceed a certain percentage of that Max HP. The remaining DMG absorption on a Shield of Safe Transport will stack on a new one when it is created, and its duration will reset. Hold Out of her desire to "deliver within half a day," Kirara deploys a Shield of Safe Transport identical to the one that can be created by (pressingpressingText for mouse and keyboard and controller/tappingtappingText for touch screen) the skill.

If the Curtain of Slumber's duration ends or it is destroyed, the Night Stars will disappear. If they are already being fired off as Shooting Stars, these Shooting Stars will last until this wave of shots ends. New Night Stars cannot be created until the previous wave of Shooting Stars has been fired completely.	Elemental Skill
