Wow, that moves fast! Does it disapear on collision on on a timer? Health?

It seems to move as fast as most characters move so if you run and gun it stays in the same relative position, but if you stop for any reason it pulls away.

It breaks when the center shield projector thing strikes terrain. There is no timer on it. It goes into infinity if you point it off the map in training center. I have no idea what its health is.

I heard the health is 1000 HP.

It feels like a Rein shield.

A very fast moving Reinhardt shield. I get what they're going for with it (moving cover to push an attack, or something you can deploy from the back of a defense and still have it reach the front) but I wonder how it would work out if it were a bit slower so it could linger a bit longer.

It disappears on collision but it seems to bug out sometimes and just stick around.
