How do shields work, Kyle.

[Hex: Boon]

I build mostly health and Defence on all my Descendants, but in getting Kyle I have built shields do they generate that slowly for every descendant or just for Kyle because it takes 3 minutes out of combat to regenerate a shield to full and the shield requires you to have shields to use, what am I missing.

Do shields work like this always or is it Kyle specifically?

shields recharge slow, even with the +shield recharge on component, however kyle gets a lot of ways to restore his shields fairly quickly, and his skills scale of his maximum shield value.

Enzo is the other character where shields really shine, but everyone else should be slotting HP then Def and not care about shield.

It's not max. The video is more of a tutorial on how to think about making a build, not THE build.

Shields have 3 sub stats - shield recovery in combat, shield recovery out of combat and shield recovery modifier. And it not "per sec", it's way more often than sec. And "out of combat" proc about after 5 seconds not being hit by enemy.
Kyle is all about swapping between his shield and his magnetic force to survive a lot of incoming damage. Remember that Max Magnetic Force is x200% of Kyle Max shield. If Kyle max shield is 10000, then his max magnetic forse is 20000. Not counting HP it about 30000 EHP, even with low Defense.

All changes when you get a Shield Collector mod. With stats above this mod recover 600+ shield every 2 seconds on mob kill at max energy level.
