Bulwark

Introduction
The Bulwark is a heavy robot with 2 heavy hardpoints. It was released during update 3.9.

Abilities
The Bulwark's ability, is called Aegis-class Barrier.

The Aegis is a defense system that functions similarly to an Ancile shield, the difference being that it defends the robot against all damage types (the Hellburner's Overload (or its explosion upon death), and the Mercury's Helldive being the only exceptions), which includes kinetic, splash, and energy. It will also protect the robot from Ember's flames.

When the Aegis shield is deactivated, the robot is then able to regenerate its special shield (it regenerates 3% shield capacity per second), and in the process deploys a frontal physical shield, similar to that of a Lancelot. However, the size of the shield is significantly smaller. One of the Bulwark's key strengths is that it has a shield active at all times (either the Aegis-class barrier or its physical shield).

The Bulwark is unable to equip an Ancile shield.
