Answer

Ruling: Yes, when Smokescreen reduces Fiora's defense below the threshold that triggered her shield, she loses the shield and returns to her base defense value (3 in this example).

Sequence:

  • Fiora defends as a 4
  • Call to Glory increases her to 7
  • Shield check triggers, increasing her to 8
  • Smokescreen reduces defense by 4 (8-4=4)
  • She loses shield and returns to base defense of 3

Nuances:

  • The attacker still must pay for deflect when playing Smokescreen against the shielded defender
