Returning player who's too lazy to look this stuff up. It seems like I can't bump anymore. See title.
Did shield knockback get removed?

No, I figured it out; it
No, I figured it out; it seems that lower level shields bump less. That or my proto shield is cursed.

Proto shields can't shield bump. All the others can. Some people may actually use the Proto Shield's lack of bumping for melee advantages, but it is highly risky and probably not the smartest thing to do all the time anyways.

in Orangeo's defense
The fact that lower-star shields bump less seems not to be covered in the Shieldbearer's Guide. So we should add it.

Higher shield rating means
Higher shield rating means stronger bump, 5* shields have the strongest bumps.

But can't you shield bump with other 0* shields? Or am I mistaken?

Tried on T2 Chromalisks, they aren't budging, I dunno about T1.

That's interesting. Maybe it is directly tied to star level and not shield type. I haven't bothered to look into this before.

Nope. Just that nowadays, people call it shield bumping.
