Shields absorb every Damage but DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin.

Shields regenerate automatically. They can also be replenished with Abilities and items like Health Orbs. Stack Shields to create Overshields, which offer additional protection.

—In-game Description

Shields are invisible barriers that absorb incoming damage and protects the player from taking Health damage against enemy attacks. Unlike health, shields regenerate after a few seconds of not taking damage, making them a naturally replenishing defense.

All Warframes, except InarosIcon272 Inaros, KullervoIcon272 Kullervo, and NidusIcon272 Nidus, possess shields, whose values can be seen in the upper right of the player's UI as a blue number, with each Warframe possessing different amounts of maximum shields. Corpus units also make extensive use of shielding, along with certain bosses. When a player's shields are depleted, the player's HUD will briefly flash with blue and red lines, and the player will be surrounded by a red aura. A pulsing blue outline will envelop the player once shields begin to recharge.


Effects[]

Shields recharge after a couple seconds when not being damaged. In addition, when shields are fully depleted, the user experiences a brief period of invulnerability known as shield gating.

The shields of player's Warframes, Operators, Archwings, Railjacks and Necramechs enjoy a 50% Damage Reduction. However, shields receive no damage mitigation from armor and are overall less effective at absorbing damage as a result, especially for well-armored Warframes. On the other hand, their regeneration makes them more useful for frames with high potential maximum shields but below-average potential maximum health such as HildrynIcon272 Hildryn.

DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic Status Effect increases damage dealt towards shields, as well as preventing shield regeneration for its duration. DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage completely ignores normal shields, dealing damage directly to the health points underneath.

Increasing Maximum Shields[]

A Warframe's maximum shield value increases after every few ranks until rank 30 is reached (see Warframes#Leveling Up for more details). Beyond this, shields can only be enhanced by installing mods like Mod TT 20px Redirection or Mod TT 20px Vigor, or both if larger shield amounts are desired. A similar mod exists for Sentinels to increase their maximum shields: Mod TT 20px Calculated Redirection. Kubrows can instead be equipped with Mod TT 20px Link Redirection, which increases their shields by a value based on the Warframe's maximum shields.

Shields work broadly similar to additive damage mods for weapons (e.g. Mod TT 20px Serration) where effects like ChromaIcon272 Chroma's ElementalWard130xWhite Elemental Ward (electricity) simply add their %-value to the combined multiplier bonus that already exists:

Where the Relative Mod Bonus and Relative Ability Bonus is the sum of all the applicable bonuses from mods and Warframe abilities respectively.

Using HildrynIcon272 Hildryn as an example who's equipped with Mod TT 20px Redirection, Mod TT 20px Primed Vigor, and has an unmodded, max rank DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity ElementalWard130xWhite Elemental Ward active:

Missions may randomly have the cryogenic leakage hazard present, which reduces the maximum shield capacity of all Warframes by half. Mod TT 20px Warm Coat can be equipped in anticipation of this random possibility in order to reduce the loss of shields, but it is not recommended due to its niche use.

Regaining Shields[]

Passive Restoration[]

Shields naturally recharge, but there is a recharge delay imposed whenever struck. Partial Tenno shields regenerate after 1 second of not taking damage, while fully depleted Tenno shields require 4 seconds of not taking damage before regenerating, and enemy shields take 3 seconds regardless of depleted amount. Restoring some shields after fully depleting them or during the 4-second shield recharge delay (e.g. with Augur Mods set bonus) will not lower the recharge delay. In addition, damage from Status Effects like DmgSlashSmall64 Slash or DmgFireSmall64 Heat do not reset the delay timer.

The delay timer is only reduced by Mod TT 20px Fast Deflection, Mod TT 20px Vigilante Vigor, GaussIcon272 Gauss's Passive, JadeIcon272 Jade's SymphonyofMercy130xWhite Symphony of Mercy, allied Guardian Eximus, the FocusLensVazarin b Vazarin ability FocusGuardianBreak Guardian Break, and the Mod TT 20px Quick Charge mod. Recharge Delay reduction is capped at 80%, and when shieldgate kicks in the delay reduction can not be lower than the shieldgate duration. The delay is only increased by Mod TT 20px Vital Systems Bypass. Both Mod TT 20px Quick Charge and Mod TT 20px Vital Systems Bypass can only be used in Conclave matches.

Shields recharge at 15 units per second, plus 5% of the Warframe's maximum shields:

To calculate the time needed for depleted shields to regenerate to max shields:

This delayed full-recharge penalty is also less noticeable with higher shielding. Despite taking longer to fully recharge shields at higher values, the relative increase in recharge time begins to taper off after around 900 maximum shield capacity, where it takes 15 seconds to fully recharge. After this point, additional shield capacity will cause a less noticeable increase in the time it takes to fully recharge shields compared to lower values. Even with over 10,000 maximum shields, it will never take more than 20 seconds to fully restore shields.

    • Additional Ospreys will give an additional +35% bonus, but not the +100 bonus.
  • The Sequence Syndicate Effect from The Perrin Sequence restores 25% of the players max shields upon activation and increases the base shields by 50% for 30 seconds.

Overshield[]

Overshields

The shield counter changes from blue to purple while possessing overshields.

Overshields are extra shield points on top of the normal maximum shielding, which are acquired through the use of active shield restoration items or abilities that would restore shields beyond the maximum shield capacity. Allied NPCs, such as Rescue targets or Defense Objects, are incapable of gaining overshields.

Unlike normal shields, overshields do not regenerate and instead stack on top of normal shielding. Overshields have a maximum value of 1,200 for Warframes and 600 for Companions. This value cannot be increased except for the following:

Overshields can be obtained from:

Some Incarnon weapon evolutions can grant Overshields, or provide conditional weapon buffs when Overshields are present:

Shield Gating[]

Shield Gating is an effect that occurs when shields are fully depleted, which prevents any excess damage leaking into the health pool.

Warframes, Companions, Archwings, Necramechs, and Railjacks gain Invulnerability when their shields are fully depleted. Invulnerability duration can be approximated with the following:

Shield vs shield gating

Graph of maximum shield vs the shield gating invulnerability in seconds

Invulnerability duration will scale based on the maximum shields replenished since the last shield gate occurred.

  • Invulnerability period scales from 0.33 seconds minimum to a maximum of 2.5 seconds at 1,150 shields.
    • Overshields are not meant to affect the invulnerability period although they currently do as Update 37.0 (2024-10-02).
    • The invulnerability duration of HildrynIcon272 Hildryn and allies protected by her Haven130xWhite Haven instead last for 3.5 seconds.
    • ProteaIcon272 Protea's GrenadeFan130xWhite Grenade Fan doubles minimum shield gating duration, lasting anywhere between 0.66 - 5 seconds.
    • Mod TT 20px Catalyzing Shields sets the maximum invulnerability window to 1.33 seconds upon fully recovering shields, at the cost of reducing maximum shields by 80%.
    • Equipping the Decaying Dragon Key caps the invulnerability window to 0.33 seconds regardless of maximum shield value.
  • Restoring any amount of shields during the invulnerability period will immediately end it.

Enemies have a shield gate that lasts 0.1 seconds, during which only 5% of the damage dealt will damage their health. However, targeting weakspots will completely bypass their shield gate.

Shield Reduction[]

DecayingDragonKeySymbol

Equipping a Decaying Dragon Key reduces shields by 75%. During missions, this is indicated by a symbol to the left of the shield/health bar (shown on the right).

In addition, the Cryogenic Leakage environment hazard reduces shields by 50%.

Enemy Shield Scaling[]

This section is transcluded from Enemy Level Scaling § Shields. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

For shields, the ranges of level differences at which scaling transitions is between 70 & 80.

Corpus[]

The formula by which Corpus shields scale is as follows:

When Current Level - Base Level < 70
When Current Level - Base Level > 80

Corrupted[]

The formula by which Corrupted shields scale is as follows:

When Current Level - Base Level < 70
When Current Level - Base Level > 80

Grineer[]

The formula by which Grineer shields scale is as follows:

When Current Level - Base Level < 70
When Current Level - Base Level > 80

Eximus[]

Eximus shield scaling is the same across all factions

The formula by which eximus shield scales is as follows:

When Current Level - Base Level < 70
When Current Level - Base Level > 80

In addition, the base shield is also increased between certain breakpoints:

  • Between level differences 0 inclusive and 15 inclusive, base shields stays the same as listed in the Codex.
  • Between level differences 15 exclusive and 25 inclusive, base shields is linearly increased from +0% to +25% (e.g. for each level, enemy gains 2.5% base shields).
  • Between level differences 25 exclusive and 35 inclusive, base shields is linearly increased from +25% to +150% (e.g. for each level, enemy gains 12.5% base shields).
  • Between level differences 35 exclusive and 50 inclusive, base shields is linearly increased from +150% to +350% (e.g. for each level, enemy gains 13.33% base shields).
  • Between level differences 50 exclusive and 100 inclusive, base shields is linearly increased from +350% to +500% (e.g. for each level, enemy gains 3% base shields).
  • Above level difference of 100, base shields will stay +500% (6x) of its Codex value.
Where the Shield Multiplier is the value that multiplies an enemy's base shields to its current shields.
ShieldScaling

Current shield scaling at Base Level = 1.

Removing Enemy Shields[]

All shield strip effects removes a percentage of the current maximum value, as such it has diminishing returns on subsequent casts against the same enemies. For example, with an ability that removes 50% shields, the first cast will bring shields down from 100% to 50%, and the second cast will bring the 50% down to 25%.

Enemy shields can still regenerate with natural shield regeneration (such as Armis Ulta, Kuva Lich, or Sisters of Parvos) or while affected by regeneration buffs (such as Shield Ospreys).

Magnetic Status Procs[]
