I've got a shield UV against shadow: low.
When it's equipped, and i look at my Knight's loadout (tab) it doesn't indicate any difference in my defence.
Does that mean the shield's UV only applies when I'm shielded? and it can take more shadow damage before it breaks?
Or are they also permanent UV's like the rest of armour? The wiki just says shield UVs work like other armour. I'm hoping that's the case.
