For the Legends of Runeterra icon Legends of Runeterra keyword, see Barrier.

Barrier is a self-targeted summoner spell that shields your champion from damage for a few seconds.

Strategy

  • Barrier Barrier is great for absorbing the burst of enemy champions or turret enhanced shots. Whether used on a squishy mid-laner or a tanky top-laner, a well-timed Barrier Barrier will help escape from tough situations.
  • Heal Heal and Barrier Barrier are both damage mitigating summoner spells, but each has its own benefits. Heal Heal affects two champions, offers movement speed boost, and the mitigation is permanent. Barrier Barrier is not affected by Grievous Wounds icon Grievous Wounds, has a shorter cooldown, blocks more damage (against a single target), and can be used while you're still at full health (good against 100-to-0 burst).
    • For this reason, Barrier Barrier is often used instead of Heal Heal at mid lane, where there are many champions using Ignite Ignite. The lowered cooldown of Barrier Barrier also helps against assassins which are common at mid lane. At bot lane, Heal Heal is more common as Exhaust Exhaust is used more; Ignite Ignite is generally only used by supports which want to all-in. Also, with two champions, the healing from Heal Heal is more useful since it can affect two champions at once. The extra movement speed is also more helpful for marksman that want to kite.

Effectiveness comparison

The following table compares the effectiveness of Barrier Barrier vs Heal Heal on a target affected by Ignite Ignite.

  • Barrier Barrier will always negate 40% of Ignite's Ignite's damage if it is activated while under the effect of Ignite Ignite for at least 2 seconds.
  • Heal Heal will always negate more damage than Barrier Barrier.
  • The cooldown of this spell can be reduced by summoner spell cooldown reduction.
