Is Azuki’s Carapace like Divine Shield in Hearthstone?
NoNo. Divine Shield blocks the first damage completely, then pops. Carapace takes a fixed amount off every hit and never pops.
Carapace in the Azuki TCG
Carapace N means the card takes N less damage from each damage source, combat or card effect. It never runs out, and it stacks: Carapace 1 plus Oathstone’s Carapace 1 is Carapace 2.
The same
- Both make a small attacker or ping much worse against the card.
Different
- Divine Shield stops any amount of damage once. Carapace 1 stops 1 damage from every source, every time.
- Several small hits break Divine Shield with the first. Several small hits are exactly what Carapace beats.
