Info

  • Expend EnergyOrb50 Energy to sacrifice Shields to increase Armor value by AbilityStrengthBuff25% / 50% / 75% / 100% of the total Shield capacity for AbilityDurationBuff10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds.
    • Armor gain is based on the current total Shield capacity.
      • Shield capacity increase from any source (e.g. Mod TT 20px Shield Charger, Haven130xWhite Haven, and ElementalWard130xWhite 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 Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline and Mod TT 20px Rage. However does not work with Overguard like it would with shield-less warframes like Nidus, Inaros, and Kullervo.
