Overview

Shield Defense is an upcoming defensive powerset announced to be released in Issue 13. Shields will be usable with any unarmed or right-handed weapon powerset. [1] Shield Defense will be for Tankers, Scrappers, and Brutes. [2] The original information release included Stalkers in the list to get Shields, but was corrected. [3]

Your mastery over the shield protects you from all forms of attacks in the form of defense as well as some moderate damage resistance to most types of damage. Your training with the shield enables you to protect your nearby allies boosting their defenses.

Power Table

Tankers, Brutes, and Scrappers

The Shield Defense powerset is available as a primary for Tankers, and as a secondary for Brutes and Scrappers. The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:
