Metalshaper shield bugged?

Hi all,


Lizardmen - metalshaper. Shield is bugged? At level 1 he gives the shield to the team of around 700 value and at level 50 he gives the shield for around 1400.

The description of the skill is "The value of [Shield] is proportional to this Champion Level." This doesn't look reasonable. Invested much into this champion to get him to level 50, but with that shield he is useless. The champions at the level 50 need to take hard hits in the dungeon fights, the shield of 1400 means nothing.

Can someone tell if everything correct with this champion? Why the value of shield is so low?

How the Shield value is calculated?

Not sure this helps much, but:


shield amount = 685.71 + 14.28 * level


scales proportionally with champion level, starts around 700 at level 1, and tops out at around 1400 at level 50.

From where did you got these numbers? It seems that you just took the numbers which I provided and made the formula... The numbers which I wrote is a rough estimate on my observation. The fact is that the Shield at level 50 is around 1400 which means nothing in the more serious fights. 


My question is if this champion should be balanced? Now he is totally useless. Other champions with the same shield descriptions (which depends on the champion level) provide much better shield...

Yea - I have him at level 60 and fully ascended and the shield value is still really low. It's hard to tell what the exact value is but it appears to be around ~2,500 at level 60 which is kind of a joke. That being said, I understand it being lower than champions with similar moves because this one has such a short cd, but even with the short cd this seems low. I still use him cause he's great in other regards, but I wish the shield felt comparable to his power level. It's frustrating that it only scales to his level and not to any of his stats - considering his main attack is Def based it would make sense for his shield to get some sort of bonus based on his Def... that way he scales higher with gear.

I see these comments are quite old. And still no upgrade to the shield. Fully agree, his A2 Shield is either a joke or a bug. And he looked promising on the paper...

In 2019, Metalshaper was Trash.

In 2020, Metalshaper is a God.

Why? Doom Tower didn't exist in 2019.


Scarab King requires you to have Shield on your heroes when you attack him.

If you don't have a Shield on, The Scarab King does Counters Attacks 


Metalshaper shield is weak, but it has fastest cool down time (2 turns)

Players can make Metalshaper have tons of speed so he has 100% uptime on shield.

Metalshaper is a God if you plan to run Reduce Turn Meter strategy vs. Scarab King.
