A reflected shot does not automatically hit the attacker unless the shot is a Homing shot (in which case it *does* automatically guide toward the attacker, increasing the probability that the attacker is hit). Indirect shots are bounced back along the same arc that they came in from and often hit the location where they originated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reflection shields work against projectiles 100% of the time, but every point of damage stopped drains the shield\u2019s capacitor slightly. If the amount of damage hitting the shield exceeds the amount remaining in the Reflection shield\u2019s capacitor, then the shield fails and the entire shot penetrates through to hit its intended target. (No partial reflection occurs.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that\u2019s the existing shields.

When the shield is hit by attacks, the energy from those attacks flows into the capacitor (instead of hitting the player) and that energy can be released in the form of an explosion. The more damage the incoming attack might cause, the more energy you flow into the shield\u2019s capacitor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The absorption shield only retains absorbed energy for a limited duration and energy begins to bleed out of the capacitor after a short time. The player can use the shield to absorb shots, release that energy as an explosion and then continue to absorb more shots thereafter, releasing as many explosions as desired until the shield duration has expired or the shield\u2019s capacitor has absorbed too much total damage and needs to be shut down and restarted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more energy absorbed into the shield\u2019s capacitor, the larger the explosion will be when it\u2019s released. If a capacitor is filled, the shield can no longer absorb energy until energy is released and any attacks hitting the shield pass will pass through to hit the protected character. A charged explosion is fired by tapping the shield\u2019s activation (number) key.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>PHASE SHIELD<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4319\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/starsreach.com\/fr\/additional-shield-types\/sr_phase-shield\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SR_Phase Shield\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-4319\" src=\"https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271080%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201920%201080%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271080%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/starsreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SR_Phase-Shield.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once activated, this creates a phasing shield around the character that moves them into a different phase of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Projectiles that pass through that Phase Shield cause disruptions in the shield and the energy required to stabilize the shield while they pass through is drained from its capacitor.
