Infinity shield

Offensive

A specialized event siege weapon for the Shapeshifters Attack. It can make a significant difference against ranged defenders, but outside the event and against the wrong target, it will be of no use to you.

Quick overview

Type	Offensive

The Shield of Infinity is an offensive siege weapon with a clear focus: it reduces the strength of defenders who are positioned for ranged defense. However, it has one limitation that you must know right from the start - you can only use it during the Shapeshifters Attack event, otherwise, you won't be able to deploy it. Therefore, consider it a specialized piece for event equipment, not a siege weapon for regular raids. This defines its character, and you should categorize it accordingly in your inventory.

How to use it

Deploy it in attacks during the Shapeshifters Attack against targets where you expect strong ranged defense. Since it reduces the strength of ranged defenders, it helps you get more of your own units alive over the walls and shifts the loss ratio in your favor. It works best where the ranged component of the defense is holding the target together - you weaken it, and your wave passes through more easily. Use it in an attack where you anticipate that mainly archers are standing on the walls against you.

What to combine it with

On its own, it won't win the battle; it's a piece of the puzzle. Combine it with other offensive tools and officers that increase attack or reduce defense, so the effects stack. If you have a hint from scouts that the target relies on ranged defense, the shield will beautifully complement that estimate. It makes sense as part of a well-thought-out event composition, not as a random addition to a wave.

Pro player tipSave it for shapeshifters and don't waste it elsewhere - you won't deploy it outside the event anyway, so keep a stock for when you need it. When your scouts hint that the defender mainly relies on close combat and has a weak ranged component, it's better to opt for a tool that hits what the target truly relies on. The Shield of Infinity is worth deploying where the ranged defense really hurts.

Common mistakeA classic mistake is wanting to use it outside the Shapeshifters Attack and being surprised that it doesn't work - you simply won't deploy it at other times. The second mistake is to throw it at a target that hardly relies on ranged defense, where its effect will be wasted. And thirdly, relying on it as a self-saving piece instead of integrating it into the entire offensive composition.
