Hi everyone how these two abilities interact?
Energy shield:
When this character or an adjacent character is hit by an attack from an enemy that is not adjacent to either, that character takes no damage and the attacker takes damage equal to the prevented damage; the attacker can avoid this effect with a save of 11.
Splash:
If this character's attack hits, all characters adjacent to the target take 10 damage; save 11. If the attack misses, the target and all adjacent characters take 10 damage; save 11.
We concluded in my playgroup that since the attack hits, all adjacent characters should make the save for splash independently of the result of the save of the Energy shield. Is this correct?
Thanks!

Correct. Regardless of were the damage ends up, the attack still hit, thus the Splash saves are still required.

Its always important in this game to pay attention to the exact reading of a card. Remember, just because an ability negates DAMAGE, does not mean the ATTACk is negated. This is why abilities like Splash and disintegration still trigger even if you evade, deflect, or block them.
