Best shield for demoknight
I use tide turner, but i see very often the splendid screen used over tide turner and sometimes the biggest demo tryhards use hybrid demoknight with chargin targe with stock grenade or loch n load. Which is best for normal demoknight - any form of eyelander and bootleger and shield

Tide turner,
I use it to confuse enemies doing weird movements

it really depends on what you want. the tide turner offers the best mobility with trimping and bassically full control over your charge, the screen has the best charge rate and impact damage making it good for raw damage, and the targe has the best defenses. just take your pick really, they're all good.
Splendid Screen

Decent protection, can charge twice as often and makes 1-hit kills easier when timing bash+melee crit

You actually just put it yourself.

Chargin targe gives most resists - its good for hybrid demoknight, as he can charge in or out once and that is all he needs.

Splendid screen is Chargin targe, but for pure demoknights. It grants both ok resists and crits. What is food is that it recharges waaay faster. Plus some extra hit damage.

And Tide Turner is, aside from being my favourite sheld too, the single most utility-smart thing out there. It grants legendary mobility, but takes away crits, so its very good to pair it with claidheamofhahhgjsjl sword and charge from one boi to other without stopping.

the splendid screen is the best shield for a demoknight (I use it myself) and the claidheamh mor is good for a hybrid knight

I can agree, even if it takes away
crits, by the time i already ambushed my victim its enough to land him another hit, and even if he escapes i am hybridknight so a pipe should be enough

Tide Turner, but it requires at least a little bit of skill

I always used tide turner + claide (not even gonna try to copypaste) as a hybrid... More oriented towards charging. I mean, I used GL only for shooting back or in some dangerous to charge in situations. I was mostly charging like a damn train. Not sure, if it goes fine for GL-oriented demohybrid.

Skill? Pfff
It literally lets you move way easier than other shields
