Title: Shields

Two questions:

    1. How are multiple shields compounded into one ABS stat?, And
    2. Is ABS taken into consideration before or after defence?

I can answer number two for you.

Shield absorb is taken into account before it damages defence and hp.

So in order (starting from the attackers attack power): Attack > Accuracy > Absorb > Defense > Hit Points.

Yay! That's good.

Oh, and I think that each shield after the first adds

  1
------
x2 + x


percent of it's ABS to it's total. So it's like, 1 * ABS1 + 1/2 *ABS2 + 1/6 * ABS3 etc. I don't know how they order them though.

I'll check that to see if I can find the order for you then.
