Best Demoknight Shield?

[Basset]

In your opinion, which is the best shield for the Demoknight?

[AUTOMATED GAY SPACE COMMUNISM]

Charge 'N Targe. Great defenses, and that speed boost is helpful. Plus immunity to afterburn.

Of course, I sometimes use the Tide Turner to fwop around. It's great.

Tide turner

They each have an advantage.
The Targe is more for defensive purposes.
The Splendid Screen is for massive damage output, because your enemy gets bonus charge damage at any range, PLUS your critical melee strike.
And the Tide Turner doesn't have either of those, but instead has increased mobility due to it turning.

Charge 'N Targe, survivability is an option in my experience, I just love that resistance the Targe has.

Splendid Screen, usually for offensive.

Tide Turner, great for escaping and tricking the enemy, it's Refill Charge Meter Kill is just BS.

(I chose Targe due to it's Survivability it has and it immunes to afterburn as well making it a small bane for Pyrous)

FAVORITE SHIELDS

Charge N' Targe - When there are too much Pyros and Soldiers, I would equip this bad beast boy. Because of that fire and explosion resistance.

Splendid Screen - Which you can do a shield-bash damage at any impact. But it has a tiny explosion resistance, whenever you get 7 or more heads you would be so hype because when you do a shield-bash to low-health classes like Scout, Engineer, Medic, Sniper and Spy. The damage will kill them instantly because it does 170 damage to the shield-bash.

Tide Turner - The best shield for being a Demorai, you have full control when you start charging. It still has the same resistance as the Splendid Screen, but the explosion is different. It's also useful for escaping at dangerous areas.

( For those people who don't know what a "Demorai" is. They are Demomen wielding the Half-Zatochi, Tide Turner and (mostly) the Bootlegger/Ali Baba's Wee Booties )

[[Not In Use Anymore]]

I, like many above, favor the Chargin' Targe for it's defensive capabilities.

Chargin targe, direct counter to at least 3 classes.

On a side note, anyone with a strange shield can confirm if after Invasion melee kills are counted as shield kills?
I thinkthey are and I hate it.

They now count kills while charging, and kills from shield bashing.

[Darkcymru]

Targe is my personall favorate

That kinda sucks, I had bunch of kills on my targe, 20ish but they were all legit shield bash kills and I was kinda proud of them.
Hopefully they'll add some specific strange part.

I like the idea of a strange part for it.

I think the change was made because of how rarely shield bash kills occur on anything but the Splendid Screen.

Sham please, they also count kills with the Grenade Launcher.

I personally prefer the Tide Turner, but Chargin Targe is just too good to be ignored.

[Rainy Gardenia]

Every demo shield is equally good but the one that people use the most is the tide turner for obvious reasons.

Sometimes I just like to equip the targe and just use pills, relying on the shield to soak up damage and escape a situation quickly.

Well, I’m sold.
All of them seem great, but speed for demopan
