Disruption Shield is a Lunar spell that nullifies the next melee, magic, ranged, necromancy or soft typeless hit that the player receives. It requires 90,000 produce points to unlock from the Livid Farm.

Mechanics

When struck, the player protected by Disruption Shield receives a message saying their Disruption shield has blocked damage, likewise, the attacker (in PvP) receives a message saying their target's Disruption Shield has blocked damage. Disruption shield takes priority over Vengeance and Resonance. It also takes priority over the ability Devotion and perk Enhanced Devoted, which means Disruption Shield is wasted on a hit that does 1 damage.

Disruption Shield has a 1 minute cooldown between casts. If the player casts Disruption Shield, waits one minute, enters combat and receives an attack that consumes the shield, they are able to cast Disruption Shield again immediately.

If a player with Soul Split active attacks another player who has Disruption Shield active, the attacking player will be healed according to whatever they would have hit had their target not used the spell.

Disruption Shield does not block damage from recoils, such as Vengeance, nor does it stop binds (but it will block the damage received from a bind).

It does not block most hard typeless damage attacks, such as Nex's ice prison. Typeless hits that the player can reduce with defensive abilities, such as Nomad's Soul Blast, can be blocked with Disruption Shield.

It will not stop a Teleport block spell from working if it connects, though the damage will be blocked, and the Shield's user will not receive a message informing them that they are unable to teleport until an attempt is made.

Unlike Vengeance, Disruption Shield stays active between logging in and out and the player cannot cast it again if it is still active.

Any attack that resets defence abilities, such as Vorago's melee bleeds, also disables Disruption Shield.

When Disruption Shield successfully negates damage, the following message appears in the chatbox: Your Disruption Shield blocked damage.

When Disruption Shield is used against Zamorak, Lord of Chaos's special attacks or while the Disintegrate hex is active, the following message appears in the chatbox: Your Disruption Shield blocked some incoming damage.

When a player blocks another player's damage with Disruption Shield in PvP, the following message appears in the attacker's chatbox: Your victim's Disruption Shield blocked your damage.

Trivia

This spell originally cost 720,700 produce points, then 576,560 points, then 290,000 points, and now 90,000 points.
At one time, a player entering a duel with Disruption shield cast prior would not be able to cast it again during the duel, and it would still be active afterwards (even if they've taken damage). This was fixed, and the spell can now be used.
When originally released, this was the second to the last spell to be unlocked.
The global cooldown of Disruption Shield could be avoided by keybinding it to your action bar. After an update on 26 March 2018, the global cooldown was removed entirely.
