Monsters with shield/retaliate timing

menu
  1. Gloomhaven
  2. Monster - Ability Cards
  3. Monsters with shield/retaliate timing
If a monster has bonuses like "Shield" or "Retaliate" on their ability card, is that active for the whole round?

No, bonuses only become active once the monster takes their turn based on the initiative on the ability card. It then lasts until the end of the round, where it will either get shuffled back into the deck or replaced with the next round's ability card.
