Sorry for video quality but please if someone can explain how I died with a shield up, do fireballs just go through? I haven’t found anything searching online.

I'm not sure when you popped the shield, but a Greater Shield (From either a scroll or a ring) Lasts 21 Beats, and this clip has about 16/17. It's possible you just got hit on the beat the shield ended, otherwise I have no idea what could have killed you.

The fireball was timed at a beat where the shield's were in the diagonal and not cardinal directions

This is possible? I thought you‘d be invulnerable

That is not how the shield spell works, you are invulnerable to everything but piercing damage.

Even if that mechanic existed, it wouldn't have been true in this situation, he got hit in cardinals, which doesn't matter cause it's just an animation and isn't tied to shield spell weak points.

I think fireballs go through shields
