Meta Shields in Smash4 / 1.1.1>

What about shield damage bonuses? Say Shield Breaker's +25. Does the multiplier apply to that +25 as well (making it 29.75 or 29 floor)?

Forgetting about SD, this means true shield HP is 42.01680672268908.

It counts decimals too, yes.

Okay. How about shield damage? Does it get multiplied by 1.19?

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Yes, all forms of shield damage are multiplied by 1.19.

So Bowser Bomb would be: 23.8 (+5.95) + 13.09 (+5.95) = 48.79 in training mode.

Double post but we figured out shield HP eventually: http://kuroganehammer.com/Smash4/Shields

tl;dr HP is 50, damage to shield multiplied by 1.19

Aside from making the passive break time longer, is there any advantage to setting shield health to 50 with a 1.19x multiplier instead of leaving the multiplier at 1 and having shield health of 41-42%?

 

[KuroganeHammer]

uh no probably not.

Regeneration is slower I guess.

Although they could have just slowed regeneration by 19% and slowed passive shield break by 19% too. I don't know why they decided to do it this way.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

probably because they thought shield breaks were funny

Yet, DK/Marth/Lucina nerfs happened.
