Details[]
When the ability is activated, Wrecking Ball gains 100 temporary shields, plus an additional 75 temporary shield per enemy within line of sight of Wrecking Ball in a radius of 7 meters. Barriers can break this line of sight. Unlike other forms of temporary shields, these shields do not decay. Additionally, dealing damage to these shields will not charge up the damage dealer's Ultimate ability.
In his HUD, players will see the ability icon followed by a number. This will tell him how many players are nearby before activating Adaptive Shields and, thus, the amount of extra shielding Wrecking Ball will receive.
