'''Energy Shield''' (abbreviated as '''ES''') is one of the three core [[defence]]s that can be found on [[equipment]]. It is associated with [[intelligence]] and acts as an additional hit points on top of [[life]] that recharges over time if the defender does not lose energy shield or life for a short duration. [[Bleeding]] and [[poison]] [[damage]] bypasses energy shield to damage life directly, while [[chaos damage]] deals twice as much damage against energy shield.<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_kSv1_BLI0&t=1236s Energy shield tooltip on character screen </ref>

__TOC__

==Mechanics==
===Damage mitigation===
Energy shield protects life by being depleted first before taking damage to life. 

Damage from [[Bleeding]] and [[Poison]] bypass energy shield, damaging life directly. However, Bleeding can only be inflicted by hits that cause damage to life. Certain items may also cause damage to bypass energy shield.

[[Chaos damage]] removes twice as much energy shield as other [[damage type]]s. This does not affect the overall damage dealt{{confirm}}. In the case that Chaos Damage deals damage to both Energy Shield and Life (or Mana) in a single instance of damage, it will not affect the Life or Mana removed.

===Recharge===
If energy shield is not at full and life or energy shield have not been lost for a short delay (also known as "start of Energy Shield Recharge"), it will begin to recharge 33% of maximum energy shield per second. Energy shield recharge is considered a form of [[recovery]], but it is not [[regeneration]]. Any damage taken to Life or ES will interrupt recharge, restarting the delay timer.

Other forms of recovery do not interact with recharge.

With the [[Eternal Youth]] keystone, recharge will recover 33% of maximum life per second instead.

====Start of Energy shield Recharge====
[[File:Start time of Energy Shield Recharge.png|thumb|upright=2.0|Effect of {{c|mod|#% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge}}]]
Energy shield will start recharging if the character does not take any damage for a certain period of time. By default, this time is 2 seconds.{{confirm}} It can be reduced with {{c|mod|#% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge}} [[modifier]]s from [[passive skill]]s and [[equipment]]. 

Let ''r'' be the sum of {{c|mod| #% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge}} modifiers (as a percentage). The delay period in seconds is given by:

{{math|formula=
\text{Delay Period} = {200 \over 100 + r}
}}

For example, having 100% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge results in a delay period of 1 second.
