This shield...
@donmortelli attacked me today (my day) with 6 shards, and because it failed to succeed, I didn't lose any shards as a result of holding that attack (which I don't think balanced that way, both players should lose shards). And then I didn't lose a shield too... which should have activated and made me lose 3 shards instead of 6.
This will make people less "tanky..." in my view. Until there are other tools to attack bigger players.
Attacked with 6 Shards? How? Where? Why? The minimum is 12! (So I guess he used the double Drizzle perk).
However, yes, I agree, both attacker and defender should lose Slothsards, which I thought was already added, but we'll fix for next round!
And yes, shield should also be lost, however I'm assuming with the 'failed' attack, it never hit the metric to use the shield, so yes, both need fixed.
