Shields

Shields act as an extra layer of HP on top of your existing health. Damage reduces your shield points first before draining your HP, and these regenerate passively when not taking damage.

Depending on the strength of the shield and the enemy's attack, it's possible to not receive HP damage at all when equipped with a shield.
