Like the title said. Id put on a victory shield in BGs as i was about to do a match, but then i got an invite for a friendly match from an alliance mate. I accepted and won the friendly match but for some reason it used up my victory shield.

Is this intended? Friendly matches dont bring you up or down in rankings, so it makes no sense for it to be used up for anything other than a ranked match. Id like to get this shield back as it cost 90 units.

    When you apply a Victory Shield, does it's status stay around forever until you actually do the next BG match ?

    Ie, can you apply it, go away, come back another day before actually doing a BG match, and would the Shield still be active ?

    If so, is there a way to CANCEL use of that Shield, for such cases as match isn’t able to be found for a little bit and you want to leave. Or just plain change your mind and don’t want to use that Shield for next BG ?

    But, agree, if next match is a Friendly one, your Shield Status should not be affected.

    Not super sure. But i know that it says "VICTORY SHIELD ON" when you apply it and yes you can cancel it, but i didnt think to cancel it since it didnt make sense for a custom match to use the shield. Im also not sure if the shield stays active after you close the game, and is still applied once you relog and try to play BGs.

    Victory Shields burn every way they can 😱
    They burn when you are losing, they burn when you are winning, now they burn at friendly matches too 😂
    Also with 90 units each, they burn your unit stash too 😂

    How do you cancel it? I've looked everywhere and you can't cancel it even if you selected it in error.... Please help

    I don't really know how victory shields work but last season I won a match while it was on and then when I went to play another match it was off but the no. of victory shields was equal to to the no. I had before using it
    So I have assumed that Victory shields get back to your stash after being used and have to be manually activated every match until they are used
    But it's just my theory based on my experience
