Shielded X

A unit with the Shielded X keyword has X Shield tokens. Shield tokens belong to the unit and are not assigned to individual miniatures. If a unit gains the Shielded X keyword, it gains X Shield tokens. Similarly, if a unit loses the Shielded X keyword it loses X Shield tokens.

Shield tokens are double-sided, with an active side and an inactive side, and always enter play with their active side faceup. When a unit flips an active Shield token, that Shield token is flipped to its inactive side and is now inactive. When a unit flips an inactive Shield token, that Shield token is flipped to its active side and is now active.

While defending against a Ranged attack, a defending unit may flip any number of its active Shield tokens to their inactive side during the Modify Attack Dice step to cancel 1 hit hit or 1 critical crit result for each Shield token flipped in this way.
