User:Acies/Shield Data

Key

• S. = Status
• + = Buffed Damage
• E = Elite Difficulty
• A = Advanced Difficulty
• N = Normal Difficulty
• Lumber family will always inflict Status. Hence S.Smash is referred to as Smash.
• All info in the chart is how much health is remaining form the Shield Bar.
• If a Shield has the highest possible resistance on it, the Shield will not see the second variable on the attack. Thus a Volcanic Plate Shield will always see 77% against a non-buffed Stun Attack and a Crest of Almire will always see 68% against the buff attack. With or without the status being applied.
• As a note, Omega Shell has much higher health than all other shields, hence the different damage tables.
• Another note, just because status inflicts a majority of damage, it's still highly suggested that you don't go and take a shield with no resistance to the damage about to be inflicted. Hence, don't take a Dragon Scale Shield to withstand a Pepperkat or Slag Walker, it will survive a hit, but it'll hurt like heck.
• Enemies are now referred to as "Families", as the entire family does the same amount of damage. Only Dual-Status ones (IE: Lumber Family, Devlite Transformations, Boilers, etc) have the same amount of damage. The ones without Status deal base damage while the ones with status have a chance of inflicting S.Damage.

Info/Theory

Based on a topic brought up on the forums about Shields breaking from Lumbers, I began searching for my answer on the forums.

Currently a Shield may gain immunity to a Status as long as the Shield has a maxed-out resistance (IE: Known as a Double-MAX UV, which cannot be obtained normally).

The Status resistance difference seems to be 36% - 38% of the Shield's health. And on Elite, the chance of enemies inflicting damage, making a huge difference in damage. Meaning that it's better to take along a Shield with Status Resistance to the challenge you face rather than Defense.

UVs follow as:

• Low: +1%
• Med: +2%
• High: +3%
• Max: +4%

Each Tick on a Shield's Defense Bar is +2% (IE: a Normal Medium UV and a Shadow Medium UV is +2% for Normal and +2% for Shadow being +4% total against Normal/Shadow attacks and +2% against single-type attacks)

Difficulty for Kats scale as such:

• ELITE Damage: +9% Single. +18% Double.
• ELITE Status: +28%
• ADVANCED Damage: +6% Single. +12% Double.
• ADVANCED Status: +20%
• NORMAL Damage: +2.5% Single. +5% Double.
• NORMAL Status: +16%

• Damage Increase is about 2.5%-3% for each Difficulty
• Status Increase is about 20% Decrease for Normal and a 40% increase for Elite.

• All info from Trojan was taken from Return of Ur on Depth 20
• All info from Silversap was taken from In Cold Blood on Depth 21
• All info for the Kat Family was taken from Return of Ur on Depth 20
• NOTE: Elite data for Kats need to be reinspected as such, it may be off.
