Ok, so when you have 20-30k shields, it is taken into account. But, your p4 is most likely the least stacked out of all of them in terms of defense/resistance. Let's say Naruto does 40k damage to your p4. The mystery description says deals 80% splash damage to units 1 grid away from the unit hit. 80% of 40k damage is 32k, meaning, your p4 will suffer 40k damage, and the remaining units will suffer 32k, sufficient to wipe your shields. It is not a bug. Splash damage is intended to work this way. My advice to you, next time, if you have Sage of Six Paths Naruto, aim for the opponents Ninja Dog Shiba or p3/p4.

Ok buddy, you did the math wrong. You know that the damage affects the shields first before hp. That's why it's called shield. Like Tyler said, the damage it does to shields doesn't show up on screen. If your p1 has 30k shield, and 61k hp which is 91k health, the 32k splash damage from Naruto removes shields first, leaving you with 59k hp. It's not a bug.

Hello,
Please remember to be cordial to other members when using the forum.
Pulos, for your issue, yes, shields are taken into consideration for splash damage. It would work like this.
If your p4 has 30k health and a 20k shield and your p1 has 50k health,
And your p4 is hit, and the damage that flashes up is "10,000" that means your p4 took 30k damage (20k shield and 10k health - only 10k shows because 10k was actual damage and 20k went to shield). The 30k will then splash to your other units. If your p1 has no shield, it will look like your p4 took 10k and your p1 took 30k, which can be confusing.

Does that help?

i think what he is trying to ask is if naruto hits a not shielded unit then it ignores the shields on the splash and just deleted it outside the damage values, might be a bug, might be a feature, its a bit niche example so we need people to test it out, who's up for the test?
