When to buy & tricks

Weapon Shielding sits passive until an enemy hero chunks you with real gun damage in a short window, then it auto-throws a Barrier that soaks their follow-up bullets — pure value when you're getting shredded by the likes of Vindicta, Haze or McGinnis. It does nothing against spirit burst, so buy it as a targeted answer to a bullet-heavy lobby rather than a generic survivability stick.
