Shieldman: B tier

A simple protective screen that makes starter ranged units easier to use.

Role
Protective frontline
Tier
B
Rarity
1-star
Tracked chance
18.88%

Strengths

Provides a clear formation function and remains relevant when Star Limit or collection depth restrict premium picks.

Limitations

Too many defensive slots can reduce pressure and mobility, so balance the screen with units that finish fights.

Best formation use

Give Shieldman one clear job and use the other slots to cover missing roles. Recommended partners include Crossbowman and Archer. A practical four-slot army still needs frontline stability, ranged pressure, and enough mobility to answer objectives.

Upgrade and replacement advice

Do not upgrade from rarity alone. Test whether the replacement improves protective frontline, fixes a role gap, or makes the full formation more consistent. Change one slot at a time so the result is measurable.
