Itsuka Kendo's Shield Counter?

[76561199566101021]

Aside from shooting her from the back, how do i face her from the front? because even All Might's Typhoon cant win against her shield :/

[2cide]

you walk up to her and punch her really hard
the shield has a hard time stopping melee attacks right on top of her

[Leg Muscles]

If youre on all might you can just fly up with your special move and shoot from the air.

As All Might, just keep your distance and focus other enemies until she's alone and weakened. Something ALL characters can do is get so close that you're practically kissing her, then do your standard melee attacks on her since you're behind where her shield protrudes. It's risky, but go for it if you're at a numbers/health advantage. Be ready to roll if she drops her shield.

Deku's and Iida's Beta can more often than not go right through and break the shield. It's inconsistent and I've tested it a bunch in training mode. No real trick to it but just pray to RNJesus.

A well placed Cementoss Alpha near, but not directly at Kendo can hit her if she walks towards it. Level 9 alpha for an easier time

Todoroki's ice will 75% of the time go through Kendo's shield, as well as Tomura's alpha.

Ibara does not care at all about Kendo's shield. Her alpha goes right through it.

Aizawa's erasure quirk makes Kendo a sitting duck.

walk away. or team bang her. theres no need to fight all fights

Attacking right next to her works, but if you get close to her, you play into her strengths (anywhere at clap-range is gonna get you into serious trouble, because she wants to get into that range). A couple of counters have been mentioned (Ibara in particular is a hellish matchup, surprisingly), but some things to keep in mind:
- Shigaraki's Alpha and Todoroki's Gamma will only go through the shield if the Kendo moves towards you, OR Todoroki dashes on top of the Gamma. Otherwise she will stop the line AoE dead in its track.
- If Kendo angles the shield, or uses a dodge just before an attack would hit the shield, her shield will block even unblockable attacks, stagger whoever tried to hit the shield, AND (if she dodges just right) the shield takes no damage. This is extremely tight timing, but this is how some attacks like Iida's Beta or the multitude of "kick goes to face" quirks will not break the shield.
- Going close is what Kendo wants. If she knows how to play, she will juggle between poking with rocks, blocking with shield, and armor through / surprise with clap and sprinke in some melee pokes. Stay out of clap range if you can, that's the biggest counter. If you can't, hug her if you REALLY have to melee her.
- Kendo can go directly into rocks, melee, dodge or clap out of shield without having to drop it, but not sprint or jump. For the latter two, she needs to drop the shield first, THEN sprint / jump.
