This Special sets up a shield in front of the Character who plays it. Until this card is attacked, the Character who played this Special cannot be attacked. The Special may be attacked with any numerical attack. This Special only stays in play until the end of the Battle. The Character who played this Special cannot block attacks made on the Special. Teammates may not shift attacks to or from this card using AC Specials since this Special is not a teammate. Attacks shifted from a teammate to the player of this Special would be able to hit because of the Shift Rule that states attacks can only be shifted once. Such a shifted attack can be blocked as normal. If a Special is used to attack this Special, an AO card may be used to negate the attack. Once attacked both the Special and the card used for the attack are discarded to the appropriate piles. The hit that discards this Special does not count towards the Venture Total or as damage to the Character.
Meta Rules
Meta #12 An attack which is shifted from one Character to another cannot be defended by a card which was already in play at the time of the attack.
Meta #113 If a Special can be attacked, then the card that hits that Special is discarded after the hit lands. The hit causes the Specials in play to be discarded as well. The Points of the attacker's card do not count towards Venture.
Meta #122 If a Special has the phrase "if successful", and the secondary condition targets a Character, then the secondary condition only comes into effect if it is a Character which is targeted. If a Special or a Battlesite were targeted, then the secondary effect would not take place. If the secondary condition does not target a Character but affects the playing Character or the opponent, then the effect still comes into play.
