I don't get why that shield boost would give you let's say three shields and after turn you would have to subtract three again? What's the point there?

You have no shields and expect to get shot, trigger it for 3 shields, take damage (which hits shields) then any remaining shields go away. I think was the thinking.

Right! Makes sense now! Thanks!

On a side note, is it odd that the Punishing One comes with 5 stress tokens?

Must be connectet to the possible shield boost!

1 is it's "own" for red maneuvers

2 for overcharged Agromechs

2 for Gunk (Derp)

Discard this card. You may add a shield token. For each shield token you add, also add a stress token. You may have more shield tokens than your starting value, to a maximum of three additional shield tokens.

This is my conjecture
