The first barrier makes the shield pulse. If you reapply a barrier the shield glows but does it do anything different? It goes away after the first hit just like a single barrier would. why the different animation? ---

It’s probably just an animation glitch. ---

I think it might be, just seems strange that since your shield goes solid its like a super defense, maybe 2 turns but alas just the same as a single barrier.
