Change Log

Patch 4.7.0

• Nerf: added a cool-down of 30 seconds.
  • This nerf does not affect regular users of Soul Guard, but instead prevents stacking it with We're Gonna Live Forever and We'll Make It to create situations of practically invincible Survivors.

Trivia

• Soul Guard may be used in conjunction with Unbreakable in order to receive the latter's Recovery Speed boost.
