• When shield lost 1 sec untargetable, to lose focus

Description
Shieldbearer is born to wear a shield, it will always hold some damage before it hits the shieldbearer itself.
But when the shield breaks the shieldbearer got an extra hand to deal some damage.

Strategy

• It can be used as an offensive troop with some health ,behind Golem, Giant
• Let him loose his shield but then let some Big troops defend so the shieldbearer is stronger,!But watch out it has less life!

Weakness

• Spring Trap, instant death
• His low health without shield

If the whole point is to tank troops, use a giant! it doesnt cost dark elixir. Also is the training time in seconds or minutes?

[Quinten5]

Now its an offensive troop with an unic ability and some health, not anymore like an giant
Ty for tip

Shouldn't it be stronger with​ the shield?

[Quinten5]

I mean stronger : More damage

[PhantomPhoenix]

Nope the training times are unreasonable, thats 2 and a half minutes for 1 housing space, even wizard (which is already slow in my opinion) is faster than that. Make it 8 minutes.

I voted no

Waste of DE imo

It's worse than Giants in terms of HPs

Worse than a Giants Recruit time
also worse housing space than a Giant.

movement speed of 12 counters the shield HPs on it's own let alone a few high powered defences, how does it add anything other than a distraction strategy for which there are better units out there, it's kind of a cross between a giant and a barbarian, but it does neither effectively enough.

The DPS increase after shield loss is also minimal.

[PhantomPhoenix]

Seriously, 3 times the de cost in just 4 upgrades, thats just too much.

Ty for this big tips!
Made changes is it better now?
