Shell
Shell is a buff applied by some Snowdweller cards. It functions as an extra layer of 
health.
Information and Strategy
Shell is an effect exclusive to the Snowdweller Tribe. If a card that has Shell takes damage, it will lose Shell instead of health. If the damage dealt is greater than the card's Shell, the excess is dealt to its health. If the card has both 
Block and Shell, the Block will be used up before the Shell.
Shell can also be applied to Clunkers to prevent them from losing 
Scrap. The usual rules of losing Scrap when damaged still apply; if the Clunker takes damage greater than its Shell, it will lose 1 Scrap.
Shell Interactions
While health cannot be restored if a card is already at maximum health, Shell can always be applied to cards, no matter what. However, damage to Shell cannot be "healed" in the same way that damage to health can; the only way to restore Shell is to simply apply more Shell. This puts Shell and healing effects somewhat at odds with each other.
If a card's health ever becomes 0 for any reason, it is destroyed regardless of how much Shell it may have. This is especially important when using the Nutshell Cake, as it will kill any card that is at 2 or less health despite the large amount of Shell it grants. This also makes Leech extremely valuable in the fight with The Shelled Husks, since many enemies in that battle have 2 max health.
