The immortal hardened shield question.

[DKutrovsky]

Does the shield activate as in starting to absorb ALL damage once it gets hit by a siege tank for instance.

Or does it absorb the damage only from the siege tank?

example: If a reaper and a siege tank are attacking him, does he absorb both, or just the tank?

cant know for sure but in the first video(the long one) the immortals shield would absorb a direct hit from a shield tank very well but not the splash dmg.. so to answer your question no

[Skylark]

The video implied that the Immortal deflects a lot of (but not necessarily all, or it'd be just unfair) the damage from a powerful hit. Given that the Reaver is even more powerful than the Siege Tank, I'd say it would deflect that, as well.

I dont believe that the harden shell eliminates slash dmg...which should still occur

[Ych9]

The Immortal absorbs most of the damage, not all. As you can clearly see, the Siege Tanks still managed to kill 2 Immortals during the assault in the Gameplay Video.

I heard somewhere that the shields can absorb up to 800 damage before it starts to take full damage. Can anyone confirm this?

[capthavic]

I thought that the hardened shield only reduced heavy attacks and that any other attacks damaged the normal shield/HP

does hard hits apply to - sunken + ultralisks slashing too??
