The Shield Generator is a defensive siege weapon that projects force fields to disrupt enemy movement and support allies, focusing on area control and support. The primary purpose of shield generators is to shield walls from siege attacks from trebuchets and catapults. It can also be used to protect allied players from offensive siege and delay enemy movements through choke-points.

Notes[edit]

  • Shield generators can't put domes on other shield generators, and domes can't destroy unblockable projectiles.
  • Shield generators block all attacks from other siege weapons
  • Shield generators of the same type, share cooldown on Shield Gen Skills. i.e Superior Shield Generators share cooldowns with other Superior Shield Generators, and Basic Shield gen share cooldown on Basic Shield gen skills
