Shield

A shield adds hitpoints over the unit's  health that absorbs the next instances of damage in place of actual health. This can be improved by various items and effects depending on the type of shielding.

---

Incoming shields can trigger bonus effects from Shield Bash. Outgoing shields can trigger bonus effects from Summon Aery, Ardent Censer, and Staff of Flowing Water. Shield reduction effects, exclusively Serpent's Fang, reduce all incoming and outgoing shields.

League of Legends content

Heal

Healing replenishes a unit's  current health, but never above their maximum health.

---

Outgoing heals can trigger bonus effects from Summon Aery, Ardent Censer, and Staff of Flowing Water.

Teams brawl in rotating combat rounds while powering themselves up with unique Augments and Items and using multiple environmental features to their advantage, in a display of both deeply tactical and highly explosive combat until the last team standing.
