I totally forgot about toxin damage bypassing shields completely... I mean, I am aware of this as it applies to enemies, but it's been so long since I have bothered building any frame to survive with shields (and failed) that this has sliped my mind...

What is it with shields getting the short end of the stick in the games I play? Shields basically became useless over time in Star Trek Online (tangeant) and now, after trying and failing to make shield tanking work in STO (hull tanking FTW), here I am in warframe trying to figure out how to make shield tanking work in warframe.

So, yup, hildryn needs shield bypass immunity with that paultry health pool... otherwise that (FOOL!) who wants to full umbra set her starts to sound like the wise old tenno sempai being right once again. Health, Health, Health. (and armor) (and maybe squeeze in adaptation if you're trying real hard)

Although, they did give her a 300 armor stat... maybe the shield thing is just a tease and that armor stat is the hint that lets you know that it's a "shield frame," but:

"Dude, bro, this is still warframe. You still gonna be modding for HP...  Duh."-Tenno Sempai (and by game design, -The Devs)

Oops, my bad, I should have caught on. Sorry, Sempai, sorry Devs. Silly me.
