Absorption Shields are a form of defensive barrier employed by various enemies during combat.

Overview

An Absorption Shield manifests as a translucent bubble that surrounds the wielder. Damaging the shield will make it deteriorate, until it is removed. Elemental damage of the appropriate type, identifiable by the shield's color, drains it faster. If a shielded enemy doesn't receive damage for some time, its barrier will recharge quickly. Every race has at least one type of enemy shielded by default but will also have another type of enemy that's shielded whenever the Epic modifier is active (or during certain public events).

Gameplay

As this page, is about fanfiction shields, gameplay may vary but follows a focused standard. Absorption Shields are weak to their element, and resistant to all non-matching elements. Overshields however are resistant to all damage and are weaker than shields normally. This is altered by the continuality its present in, in some it could be weak and in others its tanky. The appearance of shields is variable but in the Fractures continuality for example maintains a mix of both Season of the Deep and prior shield designs. Below are but some of the known timelines besides the canon timeline and Destiny: Rising Timeline.
