I think the problem is this. People aren't making educated guesses, or, at least, they aren't considering everything.

Going to Holy Sheltron and Intervention, I do believe they are going to serve the same purpose, just one is on the PLD and the other is on a party member, so Paladin can still proc the counters, even if they aren't the ones getting hit in the face. I will go over a couple of reasons for this.

First, the buff names. Holy Sheltron provides Surcoat of Satisfaction then Surcoat of Answers. Intervention provided Shield of Satisfaction then Shield of Answers. With the counter names being Answering Strike and Satisfaction, it makes sense that they both serve similar functions.

Going to the second reason, towards the end, when Yoshi covers Tamaki, it starts with Yoshi Interventioning Tamaki, then Cover, then Holy Sheltron, then Tamaki uses Holy Sheltron. Yoshi takes both hits and blocks both hits, however, Tamaki doesn't even flinch, which indicates that the damage never 'goes through' Tamaki. If we can still block the damage coming from Cover, even if you have to use Holy Sheltron to achieve it, that is still a way to proc the counter.

So, with this information, if you were to make an educated guess as to whether Paladin will still be able to block and counter damage, even if they aren't the one at the top of the aggro list, what would it be?
