Shield Crushing

When a shield is struck by a Shield Crushing attack three times, that Shield is destroyed.

• These strikes do not need to originate from the same source, nor do they need to occur in rapid succession.
• Restoring a shield or preventing the destruction from this effect will also reset the amount of shield-crushing strikes required to destroy shield.
• Melee weapons can only apply Shield Crushing with slashes.
• This effect can be declared as 'Shield Crushing' or simply just ‘Crushing’.
