Shield of Durand (W) heavily absorbs Vel'Koz's magic damage from Plasma Fission (Q) and Life Form Disintegration Ray (R), and dashing in with Justice Punch (E) to knock him up leaves the skillshot-reliant Vel'Koz unable to retaliate.

Brand's poke from Sear (Q) and Pillar of Flame (W) is all magic damage, so Shield of Durand (W) absorbs it, Winds of War (Q) heals the chip back, and closing with Justice Punch (E) plus autos wins the trade.

Shield of Durand (W) greatly cuts Lux's burst from Lucent Singularity (E) and Final Spark (R), and if she misses Light Binding (Q), Justice Punch (E) instantly punishes her with a knock-up.

Shield of Durand (W) halves Zyra's magic damage from Deadly Spines (Q) and her plants, and diving in with Justice Punch (E) for the knock-up leaves the squishy Zyra unable to survive.

Shield of Durand (W) softens Seraphine's magic poke like High Note (Q), and lacking an instant hard CC to stop Galio's Justice Punch (E) into autos, she loses lane trades.

Shield of Durand (W)'s passive magic shield does not block Leona's basic attacks or physical damage. Holding W reduces some physical damage, but if Zenith Blade (E) and Shield of Daybreak (Q)'s control chain lands first, Galio struggles to begin Hero's Entrance (R)'s channel or counter with Justice Punch (E).

Nautilus's physical CC chain — Dredge Line (Q) pull, Staggering Blow (P) auto root, and Depth Charge (R) — can't be blocked by Shield of Durand (W), keeping Galio locked down and completely shutting off his Justice Punch (E) engage.

Flay (E)'s knockback interrupts Justice Punch (E), while landing Death Sentence (Q) can cancel Hero's Entrance (R)'s channel before Galio departs. Thresh's control chain can stop the engage before Galio joins his ally.

Pyke's damage is physical, so Shield of Durand (W) does nothing, and he picks Galio off with the Bone Skewer (Q) hook and the Death From Below (R) execute while adding roam pressure.
