*'''Barrier''' Champions behave much like their normal counterparts would until they are at one third of their health.

They behave much like their normal counterparts would until they are at one third of their health. When damaged to one third, they will create an impenetrable, reflective dome shield that also heals up most of their lost health, and fire with increased speed while within its confines. | ||

They not only have an advanced healing factor, regenerating damage even while being shot at repeatedly, but they also have increased ability regeneration, allowing them to use their innate abilities more frequently and aggressively. | ||

They have a severely high damage reduction and an immunity to staggering or stuns, and will use these resistances to aggressively assail their opponents in close range. They are the only Champions that are unable to regenerate health. | ||
Each type of Champion has a corresponding type of player weapon or ability that can be used to counter their special attribute. | Each type of Champion has a corresponding type of player weapon or ability that can be used to counter their special attribute. Hitting a champion with the appropriate effect will stun it, and will notify all nearby players with a sound and a text prompt. A stunned Champion's growths will go dark, and it will stop moving for a while. It will start moving and responding to attacks soon, but will take normal damage and be incapable of using its Champion special ability until the Darkness growths regain their red hue, after a brief white flash. | ||
Anti-Champion capability can be most easily acquired through the current [[Artifact#Destiny 2 Artifacts|Seasonal Artifact]] with unlockable weapon mods and class ability mods equipped on armor. Some [[Exotic]] items and subclass keywords also have intrinsic Anti-Champion capabilities, such as the [[Wish-Ender]] bow, the [[Lucky Raspberry]] used by Hunters, and the '''Suspend''' [[Strand]] effect. A weapon can only deal with a specific champion type when firing its bullets. A weapon will prioritize its innate anti-champion capabilities, then use the selected anti-champion mod, and then make use of possible subclass verbs. Some Exotic weapons may pull double duty under the right circumstances. For example, [[Conditional Finality]] will stun Unstoppables with its Freezing and Ignitions, while its direct shots will pierce Barriers if under the effect of Radiant, as long as there is no "Unstoppable" or "Overload" artifact mod active for the player's [[Shotgun]]. | |||
*'''Anti-Barrier''' effects are the only way to damage a Barrier Champion's shield using shield-piercing effect. They will also bypass defenses such as those utilized by [[Phalanx]]es and [[Hydra]]s and deal extra damage to [[Titan (class)|Titan]] Barricades in PvP modes. Anti-barrier weapon mods will generally always be active. Weapons imbued with the '''Radiant''' effect, '''Unraveling Rounds''' on Strand weapons, and '''Volatile Rounds''' on Void weapons temporarily have Anti-Barrier capabilities. | *'''Anti-Barrier''' effects are the only way to damage a Barrier Champion's shield using shield-piercing effect.
