Not sure if this was brought up before (using the search query on the forums always yields 0 results), but the catapult skill 5 (shield) doesn’t work completely as intended. Although it will deflect direct fire from enemy trebs/catas/mortars/etc., splash damage from enemy trebs/catas/mortars that hits outside the bubble still passes through the bubble and damages the catapult/players.

The bubble destroys projectiles, it does not make it immune to damage.
Working as intended.
It’s actually good that it doesn’t negate damage from outside the bubble so you actually have a proper chance to take out the Catapult with trebuchets. Nothing is more frustrating as watch 50 enemy players shooting your fully upgraded tower from afar with 4 catapults perma bubbling your treb shots while you and 10 of your friends try to shoot it.
It takes a bit more time and bit more skill to kill the catas one by one by shooting barely outside the bubbles so I think it’s all good.
