Many of you probably already know this, but I think it's good info nevertheless. Do you have any myth suggestions? Leave them in this Google Form: https://forms.gle/ePxsWjCPGgwPnnLaA

You might think that since powershielding halves the damage of projectiles, shouldn't you be able to repeatedly powershield the same projectile over and over until it does basically 0%? I thought this as well, but it appears that powershielding can only decrease the damage down to 1%, and not any lower (if the projectile is fresh). However, if the projectile is staled at all, then you CAN decrease the damage below 1%. I'm not sure why there should even be a difference here, but maybe you guys have an answer? Hopefully tauKhan can shed some light here.
