Answer

Ruling: Shield and Yi Legend abilities activate when a unit gains the defender designation, which occurs before attack/defend triggers resolve.

Sequence:

  • Unit gains defender designation
  • Shield and Yi Legend abilities activate (Yi only if defending alone)
  • Attack/defend triggers resolve

Nuances:

  • Yi Legend ability requires the unit to be defending alone, while Shield does not have this restriction
