A Shield's status resists do not work all the time.
We're not 100% sure how they work, but it seems that it acts as "shield takes less damage from attacks that inflict this status effect." My Firebreak shield seemed to survive considerably more hits from burning Oilers in Tier 2 than my Heavy Plate Shield does.

firebreak shield has elemental defense, heavy plate does not. The heavy plate will break in like 3 hits from any elemental damage.
