User blog comment:Emptylord/Custom Champion - Ferox the Deathless Prince (2013)/@comment-4068613-20130528044910/@comment-4068613-20130531015017

When his ultimate goes off (i.e. He Dies) and he comes back, he has a duration during which he is, for all intents and purposes, alive. He has a health-draining debuff/buff, but he's still essentially alive and targetable.

So, while he is alive in this state, it is possible to place temporary shields on him. For example, he uses the Summoner Spell Barrier. During the duration of the barrier, while it still has a non-zero amount, it is still possible for him to die of health loss due to the % drain from his ultimate poking at his health under the shield.

He is the only champion I know of who can die of health loss while an absorption shield is active on him. I was never referring to an absorption shield in his kit. He clearly does not have one. He can, however, get an Absorption Shield-granting item (Locket of the Iron Solari, for example), use Barrier (as mentioned above), or be granted one from someone like Lux or Janna.

He is the only champion I know of that can die to health loss while under the effects of an absorption shield. I'm not sure where I'm being misread, or what terms we're not agreeing on.
