Gibraltar

Shielded Fortress

Gibraltar is a mountainous Legend. His tactical ability Dome of Protection creates a temporary half-dome shield that can be walked through, but not fired through. His passive abilityGun Shield causes a shield to form around the upper half of his body whenever he aims down sights; this shield takes some damage before breaking. His ultimate ability Defensive Bombardment causes a damaging and stunning cluster strike to land on a targeted location.
