Notes
Shields are a way of temporarily adding health to a champion that is not reduced by Grievous Wounds.
- A unit afflicted by Grievous Wounds has the icon to the right of them.
- The size of the icon is bigger based on the percentage application (50% has a much larger icon than the icon for 30%).
- Grievous Wounds does not stack; the duration of the
debuff will overlap on separate effects and refresh on the same effect, while prioritizing the most potent application.

Grievous Wounds is not effective against those champions (as the debuff usually doesn't last long enough for it to have effect on them); the most effective way to prevent them from healing is to force them to stay in combat.
