• Info

Info

• Expend 50 Energy to sacrifice Shields to increase Armor value by 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% of the total Shield capacity for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds.
  • Armor gain is based on the current total Shield capacity.
    • Shield capacity increase from any source (e.g.  Shield Charger,  Haven, and  Elemental Ward) can increase armor gain.
    • Current Shields or Overshields do not contribute to armor gain.
    • For example, 100 Shields at 300% ability strength provides 300 armor.
• Disables regular shield regeneration.
• Can be recast to cancel early.
• Because of the recast mechanic, can be used to selectively allow conversion through  Hunter Adrenaline and  Rage. However does not work with Overguard like it would with shield-less warframes like Nidus, Inaros, and Kullervo.
