I was playing Sniper and when I used my W on the first stage of Providence (brought him down to around 1/4), he used that shield ability that reduces damage taken to 1. It should only last several seconds, but it didn't go away. I had several drones so I decided to just -very- slowly wittle him down from around 15k HP.

Took down worms with ease, tried W on third form, and this time the shield lasted as it should. I have to note that my W only did around a quarter of his health, as opposed to the first stage where it did around 3/4 of his health (crit + perfect reload or something).

Maybe a glitch? From what I can tell, Providence uses the shield at each quarter of health (could be wrong), so I guess chunking him down from full health to a quarter spazzed out the shield buff and made it last the entire first phase.
