Shield Dome

The thrumming sound of these blue shields and the taste of static in the air are an iconic warning sign of an Aeon lance approaching.

When activated, you project a Shield Dome around your Mech. Choose any amount of Energy Points when you activate this Ability. The Shield Dome has a number of Structure Points equal to 2× the Energy Points you spend on this Ability. You may only have one Shield Dome active at a time. You may deactivate the Shield Dome as a Free Action.

When you or any target within Close Range of your Mech is dealt damage, the damage is instead dealt to the Shield Dome. Any excess damage that penetrates the shield is dealt to the target instead. If the damage is reduced to 0, the target suffers no additional effect from the attack.
