Shields

Shields^? are displayed by a blue bar. They take priority when receiving damage and break when they reach zero, at which point Health^? may be damaged. Shields will regenerate automatically if they are not damaged for a few seconds and stop recharging when they are damaged again.

All Heroes except Qing Yan have access to Shields.
