What are Shields?

Shields are as vital to your Vault Hunter as Health itself, it’s the only thing that stands between an enemy dealing direct damage to your Health. Shields come in all different variations such as ones that massively increase the Capacity at the expense of the Recharge Rate while others will impart incredibly useful effects when they’re depleted. A lot of these can make or break a Build so it’s a good idea to study each one wisely.
