Barrier Grants a 266 barrier for 30 s
This skill consumes a summoned Bubbling (5 energy each), so its true energy cost, and thus effective DPE, is lower than the 1-energy face value.
Numbers are before target resistance (damage x 100 / (100 + R); most monsters have 0, armored ones up to 60 for a 37.5% cut) and before hit chance, dodge and guard. Combat difficulty does not change your own damage.
