New Castle res-shield is one time use! you need to find a new one after revive!

So I was checking this, apparently when you res a downed teammate, res shield goes to 0% and you have to find another knockdown shield if you want to have a shield when helping next downed teammate! ...

Well, gives an excuse to have white knockdown shields still on the map...

@Kyldenar I think it's a bug and they should fix it. It still worked as I tested a few more cases, but it shows 0% after one use (not getting damaged)

    @Alphabets Not a bug. Notice he is the only character that has a knockdown shield "charge" icon to show you can do it? It's designed that way, so he can't just keep doing it.

    If he could, Lifeline mains would truly be ded.

      @Kyldenar Makes sense I guess, devs notice LL's was a unhealthy spam, so they watered down NC's so less people can complain, thus less reason to rework.

    @Alphabets If you drop the knockdown from your inventory and pick it up it starts charging again.

      @hayhor That's great to know! I'm curious about what happens when NC uses a spent shield to revive. I've seen in game that a white shield still appears even if the shield is spent. Is it just a visual effect, but blocks no incoming damage?
