Shields

Shields are a mechanic in Paladins. All Shields allow Champions to absorb a limited amount of damage from enemies while allowing allies to shoot through them. There are two types of shields Deployable Shields and Personal Shields.

Wrecker allows Champions to weaken or destroy enemy Shields faster.

Deployable Shields

Deployable Shields are generally blue coloured and semi transparent and won't prevent players from walking or seeing through them. Shields deployed by enemies will generally appear to be red coloured. This type of Shield blocks Line of Sight.
