Barrier

Barrier (バリア) is a recurring Battle Chip and Battle Card from the Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man Star Force series. A Barrier absorbs the corresponding damage until a certain limit is reached (whence it simply disappears) (E.g. a Barrier 100 will absorb 100 damage). They can also be removed with the North Wind Battle Chip or with Wind Soul.

From Mega Man Battle Network 3 onward they come mainly in three forms: Barrier, Barrier 100, and Barrier 200. The only exception is the Black Barrier chip, which absorbs damage till a threshold of 150 is reached, vanishes, and regenerates 3.1 seconds later.

From Mega Man Battle Network 4 onwards, a First Barrier (ファーストバリア) Navi Customizer program and Ability Wave was included, which activates a 10 HP Barrier at the start of a battle.

Battle Chips and Battle Cards
Barrier serves as shield for the player till it has taken hits that equal 10 or more in one hit that instantly goes over that limit - then it vanishes. In Mega Man Star Force 3 it serves as a shield for the user till it takes one hit, then it vanishes.

Barrier 100 (バリア１００) is a stronger Barrier serves as shield for the player till it has taken hits that equal 100 or more - then it vanishes. In Mega Man Star Force 2 and 3 it was renamed as Super Barrier (スーパーバリア). In Mega Man Star Force 3 it protects the user from five hits, regardless of the amount of damage taken.

Barrier 200 (バリア２００) serves as shield for the player till it has taken hits that equal 200 or more - then it vanishes.

Black Barrier (ブラックバリア) is a Giga Chip from Mega Man Battle Network 4 Red Sun and Rockman.EXE 4.5 Real Operation that absorbs all attacks until a threshold of 150 is reached. The barrier will then disappear for exactly 3.1 seconds and then regenerate afterwards. The regeneration can take place independent of the player's status (e.g. the player can get hit by a Vulcan or other multi-hitting battle chip and the Barrier will regenerate regardless of flinching occurring). It is dropped by Bass on Black Earth 2.

The only way to permanently disable Black Barrier is Wind Soul's initative Gust upon Double Soul or the North Wind Battle Chip.
