Permanent Shield

The Permanent Shield perk is a small shield that will make smaller projectiles bounce off it. It will break after a certain amount of damage but reappear a short time later.

Tips

  • Damaging projectiles bounce off of shields, potentially hitting enemies or explosives.
  • Due to its smaller size, the shield may not always protect you from very high-velocity projectiles.

Stacking

Permanent Shield stacks with Energy Shield spells for increased protection.

Each stack will result in more layers of shield which must be broken individually, giving several layers of resistance to projectile damage. Higher stacks also create a larger radius for each shield.

Each new shield, however, will regenerate energy slowly. The exact stats for shields are as follows:

  • Max Energy = 1 : Blocks 25 damage per 1 energy.
  • Energy recharge = max(0.02 , 0.22shieldNum*0.05) : How much energy is recharged per second, where shieldNum is the number of permanent shield stacks.
  • Energy to shield = 0.2 : How much energy is needed for the shield to appear. (You can have enough energy to block the damage but if the shield doesn't appear it's not going to block anything.)

Once the player has 5 or more shields, they will stop appearing in the perk altars. As the shield will only stop appearing in Holy Mountains after you have picked up 5 copies of the perk, you can preload more than this limit to obtain more.
