Forcefield

Forcefield

"Attacks dealing 5 base damage or more instead deal 1 damage."

Giant Killer will ignore the Forcefield ability only if the base damage is less than 5.

Remarkable Interactions

1. Forcefield has no impact on attacks with a strength of 1,2,3 or 4. 
2. Units with forcefield only take 1 damage from attacks that deal 5 damage or more before bonuses are applied. If Giant Killer, Knock Out, Recharge, Oppress, or a similar ability increases damage to 5 or more, Forcefield will not help.
3. Expose is an enemy to Forcefield. With an 80% activation rate, successful strikes have a chance to remove Forcefield. 

Notable Rulesets

1. Target Practice - All ranged and magic units gain the snipe ability, ensure that your unit with Forcefield is protected - lest they get picked off easily by less powerful attacks. 
2. Little League - currently, no units with Forcefield and a mana cost below 5 exist. Because low mana cost units usually have lower attacks, forcefield may not be particularly useful anyway. 

Notable Abilities

1. Bloodlust - If your opponent plays a unit with Bloodlust, the stats of that unit increase with each kill. If they come up against your unit with Forcefield wielding a 5+ attack, they may not be able to defeat you. This could be the opportunity you need to defeat them instead. 
2. Halving - Decreased attack by your opponent is generally beneficial. However, your Forcefield may be rendered useless if the attack reduces to 4 or less.
