Second Part (Includes Sword Block & Defensive Kits)

Ronin naturally can block nearly every ability, so I'll use Soft and Hard Sword pierce types instead:

• Soft Sword Pierce = not consistent but possible only for some to pierce (main example, shooting at the bottom right hip area from behind)

• Hard Sword Pierce = very consistent but also very specific, nearly everything can pierce (main example, Ronin standing on a truck, and you throw a flame core at his foot)

Legends

*The Thermite Canister and Tripwire Values are for the already deployed tripwires and ignited canisters. Midair Canisters will bounce off all defensive abilities and get destroyed fully by the thermal shield. Midair Tripwire will also bounce off all defensive abilities, but unlike the canister, the thermal shield will cause it to explode, dealing damage to himself. **Vortex and Thermal Shield will block the arc wave and Firewall, but due to Scorch's smaller shield radius he needs to look slightly downwards to block it better. Flame core can also be blocked albeit it's fired in 3 spread out arc waves like waves, and you must be careful to not let a single wave hit your side; otherwise you'll take full damage, blocking flame core is easier in tight corridors or fewer segments.

***Gun shield will actually survive an arc wave if you move it out of the way fast enough, you'll sometimes see the gun shield take big damage if you get it out of the way mid hit.

****The initial missile will impact with any defensive. If it's a vortex, it'll get caught, thermal shield will destroy it fully, but gun shield and particle wall will act like a surface. The missile will explode and create sub explosions which ignore shields
