If have a status effect applied to you, say fire, and you have a shield that defends against this status, say owlite shield, does it help at all to turn your shield on or will you still receive the same amount of damage either way?

recieve the same amount either way. IF you turn your shield on while taking an attack that can cause a status affect that your shield protects against, then you will most likely not take the status affect. But if you get hit with it (say fire) with your shield down, you will still take fire damage whether your shield is up or not after you took the fire status.
