Tema, I'm not asking about your shield in the first round, but about Goda's shield in the third - when you have 2 half-dead archers and several stacks of marksmen with 12-13 units each.
I was sure that Mass Skin, unlike Mass Shield, reduces damage from ranged attacks... and it seemed to be the case in the game, as far as I could tell from the damage dealt to the bears before and after casting.

Sting already corrected me))) I cast Mass Skin - to have protection against the marksmen as well))) but I was sure that it's called Mass Shield))))))))))))))) my mom used to tell me "learn English":D
