Barrier

Barrier is a defensive mechanic added by Starlight River. Similar to Defense, it acts to reduce the amount of damage that a player takes. Unlike Defense, Barrier has a limited up-time based on the quantity that the player has and the amount of damage they take.

When a player takes damage while they have Barrier, they will reduce the amount of damage taken to their Health by their Barrier Resistance, which is by default 50%. They will also lose an amount of Barrier equal to the full amount of damage taken. Barrier calculations occur after Defense calculations.

For example:

• if a player has 100 Health, 50 Barrier, and takes 30 damage:
  • They will lose 30 Barrier
  • they will lose (30 * 0.5 = 15) Health

The damage reduction of Barrier will only partially apply if the damage taken is greater than the player's current Barrier. For example:

• if a player has 100 Health, 50 Barrier, and takes 60 damage:
  • They will lose 50 Barrier
  • they will lose ((50 * 0.5) + (60 - 50) = 35) Health

After the player takes damage with Barrier, they will not regenerate barrier for 5 seconds. After this, they will regenerate 6 Barrier per second.

Barrier quantity, resistance, regeneration, and regeneration delay can all be increased (or decreased) by Accessories and Armor
