Inventions
- Over Shield — Shield skills grant protection to nearby allies. Protection on you gains increased damage reduction.
Notes[edit]
- Applies the Absorb effect.
- Since the reflect radius is the same as the player's hitbox, the engineer can only reflect projectiles that directly collide with them. For this reason, projectiles that explode upon collision, such as Giganticus Lupicus's Necrid Bolt or grenades from Grenade Kit, can still damage the engineer if they land nearby. They will only be reflected if they land directly on top of the engineer.
- This behavior is shared by Mirror and Magnetic Aura
