Injury Buffer
Injury Buffer is a defensive mechanic against Hit Damage.
Injury Buffer from different sources can stack proportionally, up to 80%%.
When receiving Hit Damage, part of the damage will not be deducted from Life or Energy Shield directly. Instead, it will be gradually deducted over the next 4s.
Injury Buffer does not change hit events or the damage of hits. It will only affect the deduction of Life or Energy Shield. Injury Buffer is not damage.
