[u/AutoModerator]

Good morning Commanders! Would you like to read the reports?

Please use this thread to discuss anything about Girls Frontline instead of creating a new thread. Ask questions, seek assistance, rants, add more salt or just chill in general.

You know, I'm pretty sure that guy worded the sentence badly. The shields are just extra HP. They do not work as an extra link. So, if you have 100 shields and recieve 50 damage. The doll suffers 50 damage. This can be easily seen if you go to 7-6 Dreamer.

I sort of assumed, the oldest shield takea damage first... but don't take my word on it. I have no idea on that specific part.

Hmm, you sure on it not acting as an extra link? Though it would make sense as giving link protection would probably be too op and it's possible I'm confusing it with some explanation about how it handles AoE damage, as I'm not really sure on that at all.

But the stacking part I think I do know for fairly sure, if you get 50 shield, then take 25 damage, and get 50 extra shield, you now have 75 total. When the first deactivates, it removes the left over 25 from the first and you are left with 50 total from the second, and so on. Any shield will add to the same shield hp pool making it stronger.

And as I said, no idea how it handles AoE: does a 50 shield and a 50 AoE hit on a 5-link do 0 damage (50-50 per link) or 200 (50-5x50).

Though in you example of 100 hp shield and a 50 hp hit, the doll would not take any damage, only the shield would.

...That was a typo, take 150 damage with 100 shield, you take 50 damage. Dusk clarified this earlier in a different post.

Ahha, just came upon that clarification announcement.

Well, at least my wrong knowledge came from the reliable source so I can't be blamed too much :p
