Buff Name in Code: “ChaosShieldLeft” (as used in ChaosShield.lua)

Chaotic Effects on Block: When the Chaos Shield successfully blocks an attack, one of six random effects occurs:

• Heal Bearer: Heals the shield bearer for the blocked damage amount (10% chance to double heal)
• Damage Enemy: Damages the attacker for the blocked damage amount (10% chance to double damage)
• Clone Enemy: Creates a clone of the enemy in an adjacent cell
• Buff Bearer: Applies a random beneficial buff (ManaShield, DieHard, BodyArmor, Blessed, Barkskin, Fury, Speed)
• Curse Enemy: Applies a random debuff (Poison, Ooze, Charm, Slow, Sleep, Roots, Amok, Bleeding, Necrotism, Terror, Paralysis, Cripple, Stun)
• Turn to Sheep: Transforms the enemy into a Sheep for 3-5 turns (bosses immune)

Shield Mechanics:

• Two states: “ready” (icon 47) and “not ready” (icon 48)
• Block chance based on shield level and hero STR
• Damage reduction based on shield level and item level
• Recharge time and wait-after-block time calculated by shields.lua library
