Quen is a Sign in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt used to cast protective energy fields over themselves. Quen can be improved by putting points into the Quen Skill Line.

 

 Quen Information

 


Exploding Shield

 


Effect: Quen shield pushes opponents back when it breaks. Stamina regeneration in combat +0.5/s


Active Shield

 


Effect: Alternate Sign Mode: Creates an active shield. Maintaining it and blocking attacks drains Stamina. Damage absorbed by the shield restores player Vitality. Stamina regeneration in combat +0.5/s


Quen Intensity

 


Effect: Increases Quen Sign intensity by 5%. Stamina regeneration in combat +0.5/s


Quen Discharge

 


Effect: Reflects 5% of absorbed damage back to the attacker. Stamina regeneration in combat +0.5/s

Notes

  • It has 200 Base Shield.
  • 1% Intensity gives 1% more Shield (Example 10% Intensity = 220 Shield)
  • It's basic function is to negate the first hit taken after casting Quen.
  • Extremely powerful hits may still deal reduced damage through the Quen shield. Raise Quen/Sign intensity to deal with this.
  • Quen's alternative mode leaves you immobilized but allow you to replenish health and counter with a (damaging) shockwave.
