Hildryn and Energy Drain Nightmare.

[(MOB)drakefrost]

Happened inconsistently, but mostly.

When playing Hildryn on Nightmare, at one time the shield stops regenerating.
This happened mostly after using Haven (energy chanelled ability).

Is this a bug, or intended? (Doubting the latter though, as it regenerates normally at the start)

[RobWasHere]

Haven drains shields whenever it connects to ally or enemy, blocking the regeneration. Maybe it just connected to your Companion and you forgot its on.

[(MOB)drakefrost]

Not quite.
The shield drain isn’t even stopped when I turned it off.

Also, letting it active won’t “drain” the shield if there’s nothing to “heal” / “damage”
(My regen is about 500/s with 0.7s delay)

"Energy Drain" nightmare mission type drains Hildryn's shields, unless she has overshields.

Hildryn posesses advanced overshields that prevent a lot of different debuffs from taking effect. Energy drain is one of them.

You could always use lavos

Despite the issue, I can still survive through Guardian and Pillage. More like curiosity for the mechanic.

That’s what made me confused.
Overshield shouldn’t have any effect (and it behaves normally at the start of the level).

Hildryn doesn’t possess native Overguard Ability (Pillage only adds shield)

it is counter intuitive? everything she has drains shields and when you come up against high enough enemies she will be alive on her extended shield-gate alone, so likely in difficult content she won't have ever much overshield

No. Rather, overshield shouldn’t have any effect prevention (reading the comment above about Overshield preventing drain).

Effect prevention with overshields is a part of her passive, even though it isn't explained all that well in the arsenal AFAIK. Even toxin damage can't bypass her overshields. Hildryn was released in 2019 when overguard didn't exist.

Health drain curses in netracell/EDA ("lose health upon casting abilities", "Lose health when not jumping") don't work when Hildryn's overshields are up either.
