How does new shield system work?
After the upgrade I can't figure out how the new shield system works. I have the option to discard the shield, and I notice I have a new potion in the inventory.
More importantly, I got attacked (and lost) twice in a short amount of time and don't have a shield. When do you now get shield?
Best Answer
At 30 percent damage, you will get a 12 hour shield. At 60 percent, the shield extends to 14 hours. Finally, complete destruction means a 16 hour shield. Shields can be removed and be replaced by a 15 minute Village Guard. Attacking through your shield will deduct 3 hours the first attack, 4 more hours the next, then 5 hours after every other attack until you have no shield left.
Village guards are very short, allowing players to be safeguarded from all attacks but will be instantly removed if attacking. More info coming soon.
Note: A shield deduction will be applied after you start a battle, so if you don't place a troop, nothing will happen.

Shields are a temporary protection that prevents your Home Village from being attacked on the Clash of Clans regular multiplayer. If the shield is activated, you can't be attacked and no enemy will steal your resources. Shields are available only on your Home Village and below 5.000 Trophies.How does the personal break work in COC?
A Personal Break in Clash of Clans is an enforced time that you spend away from the game every now and then. A Personal Break will be enforced upon you after four hours of online playtime (Village Guard counts as online time). During your Personal Break time, you will be open to attack for a set time (a few minutes).How do you get unlimited shields in Clash of Clans?
The point being: if you have a shield that is going to expire prior to your expected waking time the next morning, emptying your collectors and removing shield increases the chance that someone will attack you and grant a shield BEFORE your collectors fill up and you get hit for much more of a loss.[BETA] SHIELD SYSTEM is Here!

Answer 2
The new shield system has been described in detail in these posts by Supercell staff in the Supercell forums: From the Dev's Desk: Shields - Part I: Attacking and Defending, From the Dev's Desk: Shields - Part II: Village Guard and Personal Breaks (Most of the info in those posts are also in this answer by angussidney).
Just would like to add that there has been significant changes to the mechanics behind shields and personal breaks as per the 2015-12-17 update:
- Personal Break online-time limit has been increased from 3 to 4 hours
- Personal Break limit now fully resets when being 15 minutes offline without Shield or Guard (was 30 minutes)
- Personal Break limit extensions increased to 30 minutes (was 15 minutes) after taking a defense without shield or getting kicked out without being attacked
- Free Guard when Shield expires has been increased for all Leagues:
- Titan I / Legend: 4 hours Guard (was 3 hours)
- Titan II: 3 hours Guard (was 2 hours)
- Titan III: 2 hours Guard (was 1 hour)
- Champion (all levels): 1 hour Guard (was 30 minutes)
- Below Champion: 30 minutes Guard (was 15 minutes)
Answer 3
In Update 10/12 you get shield at 30% destruction and more at 60% destruction, but only if a "sizeable" army attacks.
The other changes to shields means that you will no longer get a shield when your Town Hall is destroyed. You can also attack through your shield for a small reduction in shield.
