What is the interaction between Wampa and shielded targets?

Although the timing is a little bit in question, you do exactly what the card says. You roll your attack dice, if you roll at least 1 crit you can cancel all your dice and if you do that you deal a single face down damage card to the defender.

His ability doesn't really interact with shields at all.

Dealing a damage card completely bypasses shields.
