Amplitude Shield | Amplitude Shield

For reference, antimatter is hard-coded to just go through every shield.
Unless it's been SoWFlected.

No it isn't

Spoiler for Hidden:

Wings and gravity shield are weird shields that antimatter should go through.

It wouldn’t make any sense. Dim shield also blocks antimattered creatures iirc.

In war 8, team got screwed over because they tried using antimattered forest scorpions to bypass dims. I don't remember everything, but there is a thread and there was definitely a sense of "This completely works and is normal" when we tried it.

Edit: Yes. We won. Thus we got screwed over! ...Right.

Strange thing is, it worked if the player was the one with the scorpion, but not if the AI was the one with the scorpion. At least so I think. I'll go find the thread.

Either way, dims, gravy shield and wings are weird shields that antimatter should go through without silly stupid bugs.

Only dim is bugged for the record. There is no reason for antimatter to go through a shield either if you think about it (other than 'we are used to it'). Nowhere in any shield card or even in the antimatter card says that creatures with negative attack ignore shields, so I don't see why we should avoid more cards that behave like wings and gravy. (From the point of view of the game what happens is that antimatter probably gets checked when DR is computed, so the weirdness of wings / dims / gravy is likely because they are independent of DR)

Technically there is a reason for antimatter to be let past Shields since the initial purpose of Antimater was healing.
