I'm curious how does the new mechanic works for this damage reduction.

Does it trigger before any other source of reduction and does it works for shield.

For example if I have few shield points remaining and Zombie is hitting me, he will deal 5 or less damage to the health points. Will equiped Riot Shield prevent getting HP loss (and in that matter a  hit count).

Or in the same scenario as above the zombie will do 6 damage to the health and I have one point of armor and a Riot Shield.

And for the side of reducing priority, as versus different enemy armor have dynamic basis, so does the incoming damage is firstly reduced by the wielded RS and then from armor or the other way around.
