Overview
Shield Defense is a defensive powerset released in Issue 13, it is available to Tankers, Scrappers, and Brutes. The original information release included Stalkers in the list to get Shields, but was corrected. [1]
Shield Defense is incompatible with the following powersets: Claws, Spines, Dual Blades, and Katana.
Your mastery over the shield protects you from all forms of attacks in the form of defense as well as some moderate damage resistance to most types of damage. Your training with the shield enables you to protect your nearby allies boosting their defenses.
