Shield

Buff ID	10017 (new) / 10002 (old)
Passive ID	10500

Shield is a buff that adds a second HP bar that can absorb specific types of damage. It can stack with Barrier.

It functions similarly to Barrier. Each shield has a set amount of HP and defense and an optional element type (i.e. it can be a single element or be non-elemental). A non-elemental shield will not take any additional damage due to non-elemental shields not having any elemental weakness.
