Shield is an ability that allows Jesse to protect herself against incoming damage by forming a wall – or "shield" – from debris she telekinetically rips off the environment. The ability is obtained by binding the Object of Power by the name "Home Safe", found at Field Training, just off of Central Maintenance. Shield can be upgraded at a Control Point to increase its durability and energy recharge and add ways to weaponize it (Barrage and Rush).
