Hume Shield

Hume Shield is a mechanic in SCP: Secret Laboratory that works a bit similar to Artificial HP, though with some differences.
The Hume Shield will absorb 100% of all damage until depleted. Hume Shield exist to allow SCPs to still be viable late game while also making them not
be taken down easily with chip damage.
While both Hume Shield and Artificial HP both work somewhat similar to each other, they are two different things. Hume Shield will regenerate over time back to its base value, while Artificial HP slowly decays over time. Artificial HP also only absorbs 70% of damage taken instead of 100%. Despite this Hume Shield is still called AHP in both spectator and in the Hume Shield bar.

Lore

The anomalous abilities of all SCPs cause them to generate Hume Shield, giving them a form of protection. The more powerful their anomalous traits are, the more Hume Shield they generate.

In game

Currently Hume Shield is only used for SCP-096.

SCP-096

SCP-096 has a base Hume Shield of 350.
This regens at a rate of 5 Hume Shield a second if SCP-096 hasn't taken damage for over 10 seconds.
For each target SCP-096 gains, his Hume Shield increases by 200. There is no cap to this.
After exiting his rage state, SCP-096's Hume Shield returns to 350.
While SCP-096 has Hume Shield, a trial like effect can be seen around their body.
