Barricade is an ultimate Defence ability. When activated the user is immune to all damage for a minimum of 4 seconds, including typeless damage. However, it does not block damage from dragonfire; a dragonfire shield, anti-dragon shield, or antifire potion must still be used. It also does not block damage from Heal Other or Heal Group. It does not prevent players from being stunned but the damage associated with the stunning attacks are negated.

Barricade requires a shield to use, and the amount of time it is active scales with the tier of shield equipped. If the shield is taken off while barricade is still active, the effect will be cancelled.

Usage

While Barricade will block any regular hits for the 10 second duration, there are some places where Barricade will have a significant impact:

  • Barricade blocks all damage from the Kalphite king's 1-hit attack.
  • Barricade blocks all damage from Nex's shadow traps and ice prisons.
  • Barricade will block damage from Vorago's red bomb. However, after the red bomb has hit, all your defensive abilities are cleared. This means Barricade, Immortality, Resonance and Reflect will no longer be effective, as well and being on cooldown.
  • Barricade will block Intercepted damage from the self-inflicted portion of Onslaught.

Trivia

  • Prior to the Patch Notes on 16 May 2016, Barricade had a static timer of 10 seconds regardless of the shield used. It also used to be able to block all damage from Heal Other or Heal Group allow players to give other players free heals at the cost of 100% adrenaline.
