Shielder

- Large shield provides great protection! - Huge health pool makes you one of the most difficult classes to remove! - Stun grenade increases stun damage taken on victims! - High utility value! In-game description

Shielder is the third class listed on the class selection menu, having the most health and the slowest speed out of all classes. He is an absolute unit, and his shield halves damage taken from explosions, and can block projectiles and bullets.

Tactics
Playing as


 * Shielder is an extremely tanky class, which means he is invaluable when it comes to defending or holding an area. Block hits with your shield and beat up people


 * The frag grenade may seem quite weak, but mastering it turns you into a literal menace. It deals extreme damage when used correctly and can even knock out twice, thanks to direct hits knocking out enemies.
 * It could even make you travel across great distances by frag jumping, but leaves you vulnerable once you hit the ground, as frag jumping knocks you out and makes you take lots of damage.


 * Always use the stun grenade before engaging in combat. This could force your enemy to either flee or get knocked out immediately after being hit a few times. Don't use it on yourself however, as you could take the negative effects, making you a punching bag.

Playing against


 * Hide behind cover while dealing with a Shielder as they are literally walking death machines. Its best to knock them out before approaching them to make them unable to attack you.


 * Try your best to stay out of Shielder's effective range for his grenades, as those could easily soften you up to die in a few hits.


 * When a Shielder is knocked out, prioritize killing them as fast as possible, as them getting up again can be a really bad situation, due to the fact that they could self-heal ridiculous amounts of HP.

Cosmetics
Shielder has its torso color correspond to their team color. All limbs are colored black, and he wears a heavily armored helmet, resembling a Maska-1SCh in real life. Regardless of the slot 1 weapon, he always carries a shield with him, which can be either blocking the front or the back of Shielder, depending on the weapon.

Trivia
Shielder takes inspiration from the yellow dude in the Strange Edition. They both have a shield and a pistol, but yellow dude has a ridiculously larger one, and the pistol can shoot through it.
