==Getting Started==
* Most, if not all, gear from the base game can be upgraded once into (B) Barrier Gear which typically give 'Flat Summoning Damage' as well as '+x% Summoning Familiar damage added as extra damage to Barrier'
** Starting from (B) Mithril, (B) Green D-hide, and (B) Acolyte Wizard, (B) Barrier Gear will provide '+x% chance to dodge Crystallization from being applied' which is essential when dealing with mobs that apply Crystallization, like those found in {{ZoneIcon|Crystal Caves}}
** Melee gear starting from Mithril can be further upgraded into (C) Barrier Gear. Starting from (C) Rune, these give '+x% chance to dodge Crystal Sanction from being applied' which is essential when fighting mobs from {{ZoneIcon|Crystal Depths}}
* There's a few options for a starting Barrier gem. A {{ItemIcon|Basic Barrier Gem}} and {{ItemIcon|Barrier Gem}} can be obtained from {{Skill|Archaeology}} at level 1 and 6 respectively. You may also obtain a {{ItemIcon|Barrier Touch Gem}} from {{ZoneIcon|Eye-conic Cave}}. These will be quickly replaced by the {{ItemIcon|Sapping Barrier Gem}}.
* An {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Barrier Touch}} and {{ItemIcon|Ring of Barrier Touch}} can be made in {{Skill|Crafting}} at level 20. The necklace will be quickly replaced by the {{ItemIcon|Lesser Summoning Amulet}}.
* The {{ItemIcon|Lesser Summoning Amulet}} from {{MonsterIcon|Blind Ghost}} in {{ZoneIcon|Eye-conic Cave}} is quite powerful for a while
* The {{MonsterIcon|Blind Warrior}} in {{ZoneIcon|Eye-conic Cave}} drops a {{ItemIcon|Barrier Touch Shield}}. You may also get a {{ItemIcon|Book of Occults}} from {{MonsterIcon|Necromancer}} if you have the Combat stats to do so
* The {{MonsterIcon|Vampiric Bat}} in {{ZoneIcon|Mucky Cave}} drops {{ItemIcon|Barrier Sapping Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|Sapping Barrier Gem}} which is an upgrade to all the previously mentioned Barrier Gems. These gloves can be upgraded into {{ItemIcon|Barrier Draining Gloves}} after you have beaten {{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory}} and obtained {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem|qty=10|Barrier Draining Gems}}. There is a Township task that will give {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem|qty=3|Barrier Draining Gems}} upon 1 completion of {{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory}}
* The {{ItemIcon|Tortoise}} and it's synergies can be good for dealing with harder Barrier mobs and Dungeons however using this early is quite over kill
* There's a few options for reducing Summoning Attack Interval. These are {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Defender}}, obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Trickery Temple}}, which can be upgraded into {{ItemIcon|Knight's Summoning Defender}}, the {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessed Ring}} obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}}, and the {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessing}} which is a consumable that is purchased from the [[Shop]] for {{GP|100}} and {{ItemIcon|qty=10|Museum Token}} each

Barrier

Barrier is a mechanic introduced with the Atlas of Discovery Expansion. A Barrier is a secondary health bar that some Monsters have that appears above the normal health bar in combat.

Mechanics

A monster with Barrier cannot have its health reduced by any means (including debuffs like Bleeds or Poisons). In order to kill these monsters, their Barrier must first be reduced to 0.

Barriers can only be damaged by the attacks of Summoning Familiars. There are a variety of items in the Atlas of Discovery expansion which increase the effectiveness of Familiars.

Barriers will regenerate by 25% every 7 Enemy Attack turns. This regeneration effect can happen after their Barrier has reached 0. When the Enemy regenerates Barrier, they will gain a debuff that Slows them by 5% and decreases their Accuracy and Evasion by 10%, stacking up to 10 times. Monsters from Eye-conic Cave, Mucky Cave, Tree Overgrowth, Collapsed City, Golem Territory & Unholy Forest do not regenerate Barrier.
