Interactions With Sources of Healing and Damage Reduction

Only static defense objects can be healed or receive damage reduction from other sources in accordance with the tables below. Note that the Eidolon Lure is not static and is exempt from the rules in the table below.

Healing over time only takes effect when the defense object's natural health regeneration is active; taking damage from enemies briefly disables both the natural regeneration and external regeneration effects for a few seconds.

Update 27.4 (2020-05-01)

Defendable Objects: Healing AoE and Damage Reduction Changes:

Our Healing AoE / Damage Reduction changes posted back on April 3rd have arrived! If you’re unfamiliar, ultimately what we want is more ‘Healing’ Abilities to work to allow for more strategies to emerge in various mission types. Healing these objectives can serve well as an alternative or a complement to the commonly used defensive Abilities, such as Frost's Snow Globe, Gara's Mass Vitrify, Limbo's Cataclysm. 100% heals is not what we want to do, so we are instead allowing the effects with some objective-specific adjustments as to not trivialize the game modes.

All the initial information can be found in the Dev Workshop: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1181914-dev-workshop-healing-defendable-targets/

Update 15.14 (2015-02-12)

Defense and Mobile Defense Pod Health Scaling

• Objective Pods for Defense Missions now have their health set to fixed values based on the enemy level (it used to be randomly with the node’s level range on each mission; it is now always the maximum for the range).
• Objective Pods for Mobile Defense Missions will now scale with enemy level (no more 2000 Health Pods for TIV MD!)
• Shields and Armor for Mobile Defense pods were changed to match regular defense pods so that the EHP is easier to compare.
