* The first ''VideoGame/{{Ganryu}}'' has a power-up that turns into a circle of energy shields that damage mooks and absorb projectiles for you.

* Alfina from ''VideoGame/GrandiaIII'' has her "Holy Circle" Special. It summons three spheres of light that revolve horizontally around her, and damage enemies that come too close. With each hit spheres get a bit smaller, before disappearing completely. This Special is pretty useful, because its hits can sometimes interrupt an enemy attack, saving fairly frail Alfina from taking damage.
* The "Defense Orbs" in ''VideoGame/HeavyWeapon'' are this. They protect against everything (including nukes, but only if they touch the shield and not the ground) except laser weapons. However, enemies may sometimes manage to sneak a shot in or two, so don't rely too much on them.
* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' has an equipable charm called the Dream Shield that takes the form of a single flower or star-shaped shield that orbits around the Knight, and glows with Dream Essence. The shield blocks enemy projectile attacks, and damages any enemies it touches, but after hitting an enemy, the shield shrinks to a fraction of it's size and cannot block attacks or deal damage. It takes a short amount of time to regenerate. Focusing soul (healing) will cause the shield to orbit faster.

** The first game has the earliest iteration of the shield weapon, Fire Man’s Fire Storm. Alongside the standard fireball blast, it also briefly creates a fireball barrier around Mega Man that can damage enemies.
** ''2'' has Wood Man’s Leaf Shield. It can take out weaker enemies (but not projectiles) and stays active as long as Mega Man stands still; if he moves then he fires the shield in that direction.
** ''4'' has Skull Man’s Skull Barrier, a much more standard shield that surrounds Mega Man at all times until he comes in contact with an enemy or projectile. Unlike Leaf Shield, he can move around.

** ''9'' has the Jewel Satellite, given by Jewel Man. It can be thrown, take out smaller enemies with ease, block most projectiles and even reflect some of them. It also only depletes when activated, giving it many uses in a single level.
** ''10'' offers Pump Man’s Water Shield, which summons water droplets that individually disappear as they get hit, and can be shot out from all around Mega Man/Proto Man/Bass. It doesn’t guarantee projectile protection, though.
