In many missions, particularly Defense, Mobile Defense, and Excavation, players will have to defend a static or mobile object as an objective.
Types[]
Interactions With Sources of Healing and Damage Reduction[]
Only static defense objects can be healed or receive damage reduction from other sources in accordance with the tables below. Mirror Defense defense objects are exempted from effects that heal, give shields, or give health. They can receive damage reduction effects as outlined in the table below.
Note that Eidolon Lures are not static and are exempt from the rules in the table below.
Healing over time only takes effect when the defense object's natural health regeneration is active; taking damage from enemies briefly disables both the natural regeneration and external regeneration effects for a few seconds.

Patch History[]
Hotfix 27.5.4 (2020-05-20)
- Fixed inability to target Baruuk’s Desolate Hands and Nezha’s Warding Halo on Defendable objects.
Update 27.4 (2020-05-01)
- Defendable Objects: Healing AoE and Damage Reduction Changes:
Our Healing AoE / Damage Reduction changes posted back on April 3rd have arrived! If you’re unfamiliar, ultimately what we want is more ‘Healing’ Abilities to work to allow for more strategies to emerge in various mission types. Healing these objectives can serve well as an alternative or a complement to the commonly used defensive Abilities, such as Frost's Snow Globe, Gara's Mass Vitrify, Limbo's Cataclysm. 100% heals is not what we want to do, so we are instead allowing the effects with some objective-specific adjustments as to not trivialize the game modes.
All the initial information can be found in the Dev Workshop: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1181914-dev-workshop-healing-defendable-targets/
Update 15.14 (2015-02-12)
- Defense and Mobile Defense Pod Health Scaling
- Objective Pods for Defense Missions now have their health set to fixed values based on the enemy level (it used to be randomly with the node’s level range on each mission; it is now always the maximum for the range).
- Objective Pods for Mobile Defense Missions will now scale with enemy level (no more 2000 Health Pods for TIV MD!)
- Shields and Armor for Mobile Defense pods were changed to match regular defense pods so that the EHP is easier to compare.

"Healing over time only takes effect when the defense object's natural health regeneration is active; taking damage from enemies briefly disables both the natural regeneration and external regeneration effects for a few seconds."
This isn't universal, Nidus's Ravenous is disabled, but for a few examples Trinity, Gara's Mending Splinters and the Sancti Magistar effect isn't. (didn't check more, could be just a Nidus thing for all I know)
Vid of healing happening with Trin and SMagistar

Last I tried using it, Jade's first ability does not work on Excavators and Cryopods. Not sure about everything else, but I assume the same thing for them.
Are those nummbers caped, in the "normal" catagory or can you buff them with strength?
Because Oberon only Heals 40hp/s without strenght mods ^^
Hydroid no longer has undertow. Change needed.
Inaros is the best defense object healer. PERIOD.
Of course they removed that from his ability when they reworked him smh
Do we know if different sources of damage reduction stack when a defense object has more than one source on it? (for example, a nezha safeguard halo + baruuk's desolate hands).
Also, someone please correct the page for nezha's entry on damage reduction to indicate that it takes the augment to put damage reduction on a defense object as his default halo CANNOT be casted to allies.
And for Citrine did the passive work ? and preserving shell ?
Revenant Mesmer Skin new Augment?
This is really late but... doesn't work with any of the objectives.
One thing missing from here, oberon will give armour to the objectives
why isn't well of life from trini on the list ?
Because it is not in the forum post.
WoL gives the +100 hp per second, but the lifesteal does not do anything for the def targets.
Added, thanks.
Protea's Grenade Fan affects the defense pod, it gives 1k shield and 100 shield regen per sec. It does not add excess shield tho. tested in Helene - Saturn.
Noted, thanks.
From what I've seen, Protea's Grenade Fan just bounces off defense objects with no effect.
The fact that 500hp over 5 seconds no staking wasn't revised.
