No shield when doing between 40% and 49% damage?

[lambesk]

Hello. I haven't seen this myself, but a couple of my friends with level 7+ town halls swear to me that they've been attacked for about 43% or 47% damage and have not gotten a 12 hour shield from the attack. Do the rules for shields change once you get higher level town hall? Every time I've raided someone, if I do 40%+ damage, I've seen them get a shield, even if I lose. Thanks for any info you can give me on this.

40% = 12 hour shield. Simples.

They were wrong. You ALWAYS get a shield at 40%.

Are your friends sure on what a 'shield' is? Maybe they think it stays even after raiding?

I'll ask again. I want to see what actually happens when they get raided again. I'm with you all in that I don't see how they couldn't be getting a shield if they've received over 40% damage.

They are incorrect. They probably attacked afterwards and didn't realize it. Who worries about a shield anyway? Go attack.
