Overwatch – How Many Hitpoints Does Reinhardt’s Shield Need to Block D.Va’s Ultimate?

overwatch

D.Va's ultimate Self Destruct does 1,000 points of damage. Reinhardt's shield can absorb up to 2,000 points of damage before breaking, so a fully charged shield can easily block D.Va's ultimate.

What happens, however, if Reinhardt tries to block D.Va's ultimate with a shield that has less than 1,000 hit points remaining, such as 200 hit points? Is the remaining 800 damage still completely absorbed by the shield (before it breaks), or does the damage carry over to Reinhardt's health pool?

Best Answer

All barriers, such as Reinhardt's shield, Winston's barrier projector, and Zarya's personal shields, will completely negate an attack that deals more damage than they can absorb. A Reinhardt shield with 1 health will still block 1000 damage from Self-Destruct.

Composed with assistance from this Source:

The Barrier does NOT block the following:

Melee attacks. Reinhardt and his shield will both take full damage from a single melee attack.

Sombra's EMP will destroy his shield, and hack everything that was behind it.

Orisa's halt ability will pass through it, however it will not suck his allies from behind a barrier if it detonates on the other side.

Some channeled weapons, including: Winston's Tesla Cannon, but Symmetra's Photon Projector beam will be blocked.

Reinhardt's Fire Strike and Symmetra's Photon Orbs.

Hanzo's Dragonstrike

Junkrat's Rip Tire

Fire Strike and Photon Orbs can actually pass through and damage everything in its path, including Reinhardt, his barrier and anyone else behind Reinhardt.

Do also note that Reinhardt's shield does not block ally projectiles. This means you should combo with a Bastion or any other front line assault that will make best use of your shield.
