Key

• S. = Status
• + = Buffed Damage
• 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.

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, it looks like a Shield can gain immunity to Weak Status much like Knights can, this is apparent when you look at both the Grey Owlite Shield and Crest of Almire on the chart below. It may be possible to gain immunity to Moderate Status the same way Knights do but I currently have no way of testing this.

WEAK STATUS: 15.00% - 38.00%

MODERATE STATUS: N/A

STRONG STATUS: 32.00% - 48.00%

The difference with and without Status is a massive jump, even a Shield without Shock Resistance but major Defense Resistance (See: Dread Skelly) takes 15% more damage from a Status attack than a Shield without the same Elemental-type resistance. (See: Grey Owlite Shield)

And actually has a major difference compared to the Crest of Almire, being a 38% difference in damage.

Does this still apply to lower-difficulty enemies? (Normal/Advanced difficulty), I'll be looking into that later.
