Apex Barrier
Modifier · defense
In short: Late-pipeline mitigation stat with a soft cap: mit% = 1 − 10000 / (10000 + barrier / (1 + shred)).
A mitigation layer applying after standard mitigation and isolytic mitigation, on their combined remainder, and before crit mitigation and the shield split. The raw stat converts through a soft cap: mit% = 1 − 10000 / (10000 + barrier / (1 + shred/100)). The curve approaches but never reaches 100%.

Apex Barrier is a mitigation layer that applies after standard and isolytic mitigation, on their combined remaining damage, and before the second cut of critical mitigation and the shield/hull split — see the mitigation pipeline for the full order.
The raw stat converts to a mitigation percentage through a soft cap: effectiveBarrier = rawBarrier / (1 + Apex Shred), then mit% = 1 − 10000 / (10000 + effectiveBarrier), with shred as a bonus: +100% shred is 1 and halves the barrier. Example: 3,000,000 barrier against +400% shred → 600,000 effective → ~98.4% mitigation. The curve approaches but never reaches 100%.
