I figure it isn't a bug, but can someone explain to me how orthus works. Like say my opponent has a myth blade and a myth trap on me and then I put up a myth shield. My opponent then uses orthus. So orthus attacks and gets a boost from the blade and trap, but then my shields blocks it. Then when orthus attacks again it still gets the boost from the blade and trap, but the shield no longer affects it. Now I do not mind my shield not blocking the second attack, but hat means that orthus should no longer get the boost from the blades and traps. With a myth shield it is ridiculous to still take 2000 damage. It seems to me like orthus's second attack should not be getting the boost when I had a shield for the first one. But yeah the average attack seems to be like 1600 or something. So can someone explain to me how this attack works? How is it able to keep the attack boost without being blocked by the shield?
There are several spells that work like this, a multiple attack, with the first blow very small to clear out the shields.
Their purpose is to clear out defensive shields (and they also clear out offensive shields <they work only once>). Swords (both positive and negative) work on the entire spell.
If you had up two defensive shields, one would defend vs the first of the attacks, while a second would work against the second, etc.
Globals should also boost all of the attacks.
Best defense: Multiple shields, negative damage shields or one of the negative accuracy spells.

While it may SEEM like a bug, it actually works that way. You see, that is the point of attacks like orthrus. The first attack is weak, to take of sheilds or stuff, than a big hit! the way to shield both is to put up two shields. Hope this helps!
