There is no best all shields are good, well situational.

There is no best.
They are all there to fit how you play.
The Targe is sorta the stock one, the all-around sorta guy.
The Screen is for the guy you see in the middle of the fight. Fun fact bout it, the amount of heads you have increases the damage the Shield Bash does.
And the Tide Turner is for the sneakier guy, since your charge stops if you take damage. But, you know, being able ot turn on a dime is nice.

The Targe is the best for turning you into a tank. It has the best resistances and makes you immune to afterburn, so you can charge straight at any unaware or phlog Pyro.

The Splendid Screen gives up some resistances for more and easier bash damage. IMO, not worth it, but to others, it might be.

The Tide Turner... got nerfed so hard that I barely see anyone use it anymore. It gives you better mobility and decent resistances, but any damage you take reduces the length of your charge. And from what I've heard, it barely takes any damage to completely stop you.

So my vote is firmly for the Targe.

Demo's charge scream has to disagree with that.

But yes, no shield is the best. Just use the one that fits you the most.

I know, but you gotta be sneakier with it. Considering damage ruins your charge, you have to be sneaky for your charge to do anything.

basically the tide turner is worthless.

[JC D]

Targe for me. I just don't see how more bash or tighter turns can compete with the sheer damage resistances.

tide turner is good for demoknighting and chargin targe is good for survivability

["Old Hickory" James]

The shield choice should vary on what you want to aim for.

-Targe for durability
-Screen for pure power
-Turner for manuverability

For melee choice suggestions:
-Targe: Eyelander or Scottsman's Skullcutter
-Screen: Eyelander or Persian Persuader
-Turner: Eyelander or Claidheamh Mòr

The Eyelander goes well with any of the shields.
Also, if you equip the Ullapool Caber with a shield, go to hell.

i dont think anything could beat total turn control currently. Even so, I still prefer the Targe because it doesnt feel like training wheels.
