Shield Breaker Build
Bring something blunt, or blades will bounce all day.
The mechanic it is built on
S-GAME has confirmed heavily shielded enemies that blades alone cannot handle. Iron fists and hammers are the stated answer, so a shield-breaking option has to live in the loadout permanently.
Strengths
- +Removes the single most common "my weapon does nothing" wall in previews.
- +Bashpole covers blunt, area damage and traversal in one slot.
- +Heavy options like Tiger Cannon still give you range while staying in the archetype.
Watch out
- −No shield-break damage numbers have been published — this is a coverage rule, not a maths optimisation.
- −Over-committing to slow weapons hurts Sha-Chi generation.
