Info

Expend 50 Energy to sacrifice Shields to increase Armor value by 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% of the total Shield capacity for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds.
- Armor gain is based on the current total Shield capacity.
  - Shield capacity increase from any source (e.g. Shield Charger, Haven, and Elemental Ward) can increase armor gain.
  - Current Shields or Overshields do not contribute to armor gain.
  - For example, 100 Shields at 300% ability strength provides 300 armor.
Disables regular shield regeneration.
Can be recast to cancel early.
Because of the recast mechanic, can be used to selectively allow conversion through Hunter Adrenaline and Rage. However does not work with Overguard like it would with shield-less warframes like Nidus, Inaros, and Kullervo.
