Shield

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Shield is a skill attribute in the Digital Devil Saga series.

Gameplay

Shield skills create a barrier for all allies that protect against a given attribute or set of attributes. The barrier is single-use per unit, disappearing once it activates or after one turn, and takes priority over the unit's resistances. Furthermore, an unit cannot be under the effect of multiple Shield skills - if a second one is used, the first barrier is overridden.

Shield skills also protect the unit from being afflicted by ailments from attacks, even if the shield does not prevent the attack itself. For instance, Void Poison will prevent Poison Dart from inflicting Poison, but will not prevent the damage.
