Shell is a defensive skill used by some monsters in Diablo Immortal. It comes in 3 variants
- Shell: This grants the monster charges of Damage immunity, and is only seen when the monster is at full health. It appears as miniature shields floating above the monster, with each shield representing a charge. When the monster is attacked, the damage of the attack is nullified and a shield is spent. The monster can only be harmed when all charges are spent.
- This ability is used by Bloodsworn Oppressors, Demon Shieldbearers, Royal Shieldbearers, Gargoyles and Rock Golems.
- Absorb Shield: This grants the monster an amount of damage absorption. It appears as an addition to the monster's health bar, but coloured gray, and the monster becomes surrounded by a spherical barrier. It functions identical to additional life gotten from Health Orbs. The shield depletes as the monster receives damage, and the monster can be harmed once the shield is exhausted.
- Barrier: This shield makes the monster invulnerable. When used, the monster is surrounded by a spherical barrier, and their whole health bar turns gray. The barrier lasts till specific condition is met (eg. destroying its anchor).
- It is used by some quest and Helliquary bosses (eg Sladyan, Chaos Herald Pyl, Strazos, Iscea, Peisthal).
- A weaker variant is used by some monsters (eg Guardian Golems, Skeletal Marauders) which temporarily makes them invulnerable to all damage coming from a particular direction.
