Details

Zarya creates a bubble-shaped barrier around herself. The barrier has 200 health and lasts for 2 seconds.

Zarya's Energy will increase 1 point per 5 shield damage taken. The maximum Energy point that Zarya is able to gain in one use of barrier is 40.

While the barrier holds, Zarya is immune to most forms of crowd-control, such as Mei's Endothermic Blaster freezing effect, Roadhog's Chain Hook, and the pinning effect of Reinhardt's Charge. She is, however, not immune to crowd-control effects that pierce through the barrier, such as the knockback effect of Winston's Primal Rage and Reinhardt's Charge.
