'''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. | '''Shield damage''' is an effect that certain attacks in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games have.

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