Shield Infusion is a Mercenary skill in Outward, requiring a shield.

Cannot learn if the player chooses to learn Blood Bullet.

Description

Block an elemental attack. When you next block, an elemental explosion will burst from you.

Effects

Activating this skill starts a blocking animation, during which you can block any type of attack (including magical blasts). If you block an attack which deals elemental (non-Physical physical) damage during the animation, you gain a Shield Imbue of that element. In the case of multiple elements on one attack, the priority is Fire > Frost > Lightning > Decay > Ethereal.

When you have a Shield Imbue, the next blocked melee attack will create an area-of-effect explosion.

The damage of the explosion is:

  • 1.3x equipped Shield damage as Ethereal Ethereal damage
  • 2.0x equipped Shield damage as the element of the imbue (either Ethereal Decay Lightning Frost Fire)
  • 2.0x equipped shield Impact.png Impact damage

Notes

  • Activating Shield Infusion again and blocking a second elemental attack will replace the current infusion.
  • In the case of multi-hit effects (such as Burning Man's flamethrower), the skill will only block one of the blasts, not all of them.
