A heated discussion has broken out amongst the few Epic players in my gaming group as to how exactly void shields function in game.

There a two camps;

Camp1 believes that a successful will strip a titan of a void shield.

Camp2 believes that a successful damage roll is needed to remove a point of shielding.

None of have been playing Epic for any considerable time & so all involved are little hazy, so I turn to you the Epic community in hope of settling this debate.

I am aware that perhaps this has been covered somewhere on the forum but I do not have the time to delve through old threads as I'm stealth slacking at work, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Any hit will remove a void shield.

You don't take armour saves until all the shields are gone.

What is meant by "damage roll"?  Other than the rolling for the number of hits from a TK weapon, there are no "damage rolls" in EPIC: Armageddon.

A Void shield/Power field is dropped from by a successful *hit* on the protected target.

SPECIAL RULE
5.4.1 Imperial Void Shields
Imperial Titans are protected by void shield generators. The number of void shields each Titan has is noted on the Titan’s datasheet. Each void shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. Do not make armour saves for damage stopped by void shields, nor allocate Blast markers. Once all of the shields have been knocked down, the Titan may be damaged normally and you may make saving throws against any hits that are
scored. Hits from close combat ignore void shields but units using their firefight values must first knock down any shields before they can damage the Titan.

Void shields that have been knocked down can be repaired. Each Titan can repair one downed void shield in the end phase of each turn. In addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice
roll to either repair the void shield or remove Blast markers (eg, if you rolled a 2 you could repair 2 shields, remove 2 Blast markers or repair 1 shield and remove 1 Blast marker).
