Hello @Ambrozt

Forgive me if my translation from your screenshot is incorrect, but in both attacks by “Trasser,” this was Enemy Revenge. That I can find, the Raid Shield does not protect you from Revenge attacks, only from new attacks.

@Kerridoc

There was some discussion over in the beta boards with the devs about whether to allow revenge attacks while still under a raid shield. The consensus there was, if they’re going to leave the raid shields at all, they should allow revenges. I was a vocal proponent of that change.

Why? Attack/revenge is a cycle. You attack me, I earn a revenge against you. Short-circuiting that cycle is like those horrible playground games where, as long as someone is touching a certain pole, they can’t be “it”. Everyone just stands there, holding onto the pole.

Let’s not go there. If you attack, expect a revenge. If they’ve changed it so that the shield just protects you from coming up as a randomly offered battle, so much the better.

I know it must be frustrating after spending so many gems, and it isn’t explained clearly that I can find, but I do not believe this is a bug.

The good news?? You won in both battles for a gain of 12 trophies!

Hope it helps,
Tima

Your raid log shows that you initiated a raid 11 hours prior, which may explain it as well. A raid shield breaks if you initiate a raid while it is active.

I dislike with my soul the raid shields, they are a punch on the face for all the players, be brave and defend your cups with hardwork not taking the cheating way using those cowards shields.

@lexinen This was my first thought as well, but I think he initiated the last Raid right before purchasing the Shield - from the screenshot, the 1 Day shield had 12 hours 54 minutes remaining, meaning 11 hours and 6 minutes had elapsed. Unfortunately, the last raid only shows “11 hours ago” - which leaves that tiny little 6 minute window where he could have “broken” his Raid shield.

Now, I didn’t feel like purchasing and then breaking a shield myself to verify this, but wouldn’t the Raid shield then immediately enter “Cooldown,” and the corresponding graphic change?

Good point. I’m in the same boat, though; I don’t really want to waste gems by intentionally breaking a shield to see what it looks like.

Anybody know if the shield graphic changes when you enter cooldown?

[Tima]

I can confirm that the graphics do change when you are in Cooldown - but I haven’t tried breaking a shield, and can only assume that once broken the graphics would immediately display the “Cooldown” timer.

You will have a cooldown like this
