III. Aegis Reflector (2-level meter)
|
P
|
Urien generates a rectangular energy barrier in front of him, resembling a plate of glass, which lasts for a duration before shattering. The distance from Urien that the barrier is generated depends on the strength of the button used ( LP is closest and HP is farthest), or it can be generated diagonally upwards from Urien by pressing all three P buttons simultaneously. The barrier moves forward a short distance before coming to a stop. Multiple barriers can be out at a time if Urien has enough Super meter. The barrier damages and electrifies opponents on contact, so it can be used to corner opponents and setup juggle combos. It also reflects most projectiles, but some projectiles (such as Ryu's Denjin Hadouken or Gill's Pyrokinesis or Cryokinesis) can destroy it. Urien can pass harmlessly through the barrier.
