Barriers are semi-transparent, semi-permeable structures that block incoming damage and most projectiles. Barriers can also block line of sight for certain abilities. They do not prevent heroes from crossing, nor block any melee attacks. Some attacks can pierce barriers. Barriers only affect the opposing team.
Barriers have shields for their HP.[1][2] Unlike the shields on heroes, barriers' shields only regenerate while the barrier is inactivate, and with a 2 second delay instead of 3. Since most barriers are always active once deployed, the only barriers that can regenerate are the ones that can be recalled back. Like all shields, they are destroyed by EMP.
