Effect Information

If a Guardian is traited in the Defender of the Free line, their shield skills have a 25% chance to tier up the Fortification stack, for a maximum of five times (while tiering up Fortification stacks, the effect Fortification is visible for a short time). When  Litany of Defiance is used, all stacks are cashed out to double the mitigation buffs and absorb your allies' incoming damage for a short time.

The set bonus Strengthen the Bulwark in the Defender of the Free tree doubles the mitigation buff and renames it to Improved Fortification. Critical hits with your shield skills will also automatically add a tier of the effect.

The trait Shield the People in the Defender of the Free tree doubles the chance of applying this effect on a normal hit and provides a fellowship-wide mitigation buff of 2% at 5 stacks.
