Effect	Blocks enemy movement. Strips elemental immunities from attackers.

The Magic Blockade, or Elemental Barrier, is a wall-type Apprentice / Adept defense that permanently removes the elemental affinity of attackers.

It is the cheapest, but least durable of all blockades, costing 20 mana and 1 Defense Unit.

In Redux, its health scaling is drastically improved. Whenever the barrier is attacked, ALL surrounding enemies lose their elemental affinity. It also generates more aggro, as with all other blockades.

Stat Scaling

• Stats measurements taken without upgrades or extra buffs or Invested points into defenses.
• All mage towers have 1.625x more health on Nightmare and Ascension.

Tips

• Magic Blockades are an inexpensive way to bait certain enemies. Spiders that drop next to one will most likely attack it over targets further away.

In Other Dungeon Defenders Games

This blockade is known as the Elemental Barrier in Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. Its health scaling is drastically better in DDA than Vanilla DD1.
