About this converter
Valorant shields have 3 tiers since patch 9.10 with costs, absorb and pool rows sorting together. Light Armor costs 400 credits with 66 percent absorb to 25 damage for 125 effective HP. Regen Shield costs 650 with 100 percent to shield first in 25 damage chunks from a 50 pool for 75 total possible, carrying rounds with delay. Heavy Armor costs 1000 with 66 percent to 50 damage for 150 effective HP behind shots-to-kill math. Old 300 and 400 credit costs predate the 2024 economy and stay out with corrections noted. Decay has no numeric DR change and stays out.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Heavy cost against Light cost to see the 1000 to 400 shop gap. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1. Costs, percents, amounts and pools share credit math with roles labeled.
Percent, amount, pool and effective HP rows are different roles sharing one table, stated clearly. Regen 100 percent means shield first unlike 66 percent split rows. Round to round carry applies to Regen pool only. Omitted: ability shield interactions like Sage wall HP, which use separate object tables.
