'''Shield damage''' is an effect that certain attacks in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games have. All [[hitbox]]es have a shield damage value, which will additively change the damage dealt to shields. For most attacks, this value is set as 0, however, for some attacks, this value can be either a positive or negative number, adding or subtracting from the damage the attack deals to shields. For example, Donkey Kong's Headbutt will do more damage to an opponent's shield than his forward smash since its hitbox has high shield damage, despite his forward smash having higher base damage. The [[Fan]] and Marth's [[Shield Breaker]] are the most well-known examples of attacks that do significant shield damage. Quite a few attacks deal extra shield damage, but most such attacks do not have a high value for it.
'''Shield damage''' is an effect that certain attacks in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games have. While they are mostly normal attacks, they deal bonus damage when their hitboxes connect with a [[shield]]. For example, Donkey Kong's Headbutt will do more damage to an opponent's shield than his forward smash since its hitbox has shield damage, despite his forward smash containing a much more damaging hitbox. The [[Fan]] and Marth's [[Shield Breaker]] are the most well-known examples of attacks that do significant shield damage. Quite a few attacks deal extra shield damage, but most such attacks do not have a high value for it.


Some attacks have the opposite effect: they have negative shield damage, dealing less damage to shields than to characters. This concept was used for a few moves in the original ''SSB'', but removed for all except the [[Home-Run Bat]] in ''Melee'', and no known attacks use it in ''Brawl'' or ''SSB4''. ''Ultimate'' reintroduces the concept as a significantly more widespread mechanic, particularly for [[projectile]]s after update version 3.0.0.
There is a small minority of attacks that have the opposite effect: they deal less damage to shields than characters. This appears to only be present in ''[[Smash 64]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]'', though it's likely that the effect exists in the other three games and is simply not used by anything.


Bonus shield damage is generally fixed; it is not increased by charging a smash attack, nor does it decrease when an attack is [[stale]].
