EP's Crackling Doom Zeta

[AhHiar]

Can someone clarify EP's new Crackling Doom zeta? he gains 5% max protection whenever he inflicts shock...is this the same as recovering protection? if it's really just increasing max protection, I don't see how this helps unless you have a thrawn...

It only adds 5% max protection until the end of the turn. My question would be, under a nihilus lead, is that protection added to health?
