What it does
When to buy & tricks
Slot Reactive Barrier against lineups that chain hard crowd control: the moment you get Stunned, Chained, Immobilized, Slept or Silenced it pops a Barrier, soaking the burst meant to delete you while you're locked down. Cheap, reactive insurance for squishy carries into stun-heavy comps.

10-02-2025 UpdateOct 02, 2025
- * Applying a CC to an enemy is reduced in duration when affected by other CCs in a short interval. Each previously applied CC reduces the duration by 7% up to a max of 21% over the past 7 seconds. CC is defined as the same set of debuffs that affect Reactive Barrier (stun, sleep, immobilize, tether, etc). Note that abilities that apply multiple things only count as one CC (aka Abrams shoulder charge CC on the grab and the stun, Lash ult grab and stun, etc).
