Bleach: Blade Echoes, as a new manga adaptation mobile game produced by NetEase, is themed around the super popular work Bleach, which has made many fan players highly anticipated. This article will introduce the shield characters in Bleach: Blade Echoes. In this multiplayer dungeon-clearing combat gameplay, many characters have unique skills. For example, some can protect teammates by actively releasing shields to reduce damage, or enhance their combat power during battles by increasing both resistances and temporary shields, allowing the character to stay on the field longer. To learn more about these characters and their skills, follow along with us to explore.

Shields are a very important skill effect in Bleach: Blade Echoes, allowing characters to reduce their own losses during health exchanges, and the fast refreshing shield mechanism also increases player tolerance, making map clearing smoother. Currently, in the game, characters that can generate shields include Orihime Inoue and Yasutora "Chad" Sado. The former provides active shields, as a support character, her shields can be given to teammates, improving everyone's survival rate. Additionally, the shield effect remains even when switching characters. The latter, however, is a passive shield, requiring the talent to refresh after attacking enemies, and it can only be used by the character themselves, not transferred to switched characters.

Orihime Inoue is positioned as a healing support, characterized by a very quick skill cooldown, and her ultimate skill fragment collection efficiency is high. As a free rare protagonist team member, she plays a strong role in the early, mid, and late stages of the game. Her ultimate can quickly restore the entire team's HP based on her attack power. The passive effect enhances her own attack power for healing, outstanding survivability, and also strengthens the team's resistance to critical hits; the effects remain even when switching to the front line, making it easier to output while standing. When her HP drops below 30%, she gains a lasting shield effect, at which point she is immune to control and negative buffs. A smaller skill can also apply a shield to each member, with a cooldown of 60 seconds, providing significant survival assurance in both PVP and PVE.

Yasutora "Chad" Sado's shield ability is relatively simple, mainly triggered by his innate talent when he attacks. Since Chad is a high-attack-speed, close-range boxing type character, the risk of taking damage is higher. Both of his skills can increase his own attack power, dealing massive damage to nearby enemies and strengthening surrounding defenses. If a stun effect is triggered, he will generate a short-term defensive shield for himself, lasting about 8 seconds, and this shield cannot be inherited and can only be used by him. Although it triggers less often in the early stages, from the mid-game onward, it can significantly enhance survivability, better than nothing.

The above introduces the shield characters in Bleach: Blade Echoes. For players who prefer active engagement, you can try trigger-based playstyles, quickly refreshing temporary shields to reduce your own consumption during health exchanges. Players who favor support and protection should pay more attention to the cooldown of active shields, be mindful of the timing of the opponent's ultimate, and release shields in time to mitigate damage. We believe every player can perform cool moves and clear dungeons more smoothly.
