Shield Mastery
19,105 views | Shield / Traits / Weapons

Shield is a powerful melee style using a shield held in the left hand.. Weapon Mastery, introduced in Game Update 36, allows player to perform cross-weapon combos.

Shield can combo into select Two Handed and Dual Pistols attacks.

To unlock Shield Mastery, players must spend 20 skill points in Shield tree. Depending on their needs, they should spend skill points on required Statistics for their Power role. Furthermore, they must unlock the next Shield Combos:

  • Spinning Upslash
  • Leaping Stab
  • Spinning Downward Cross
  • Heavy Sidearm Throw

Purchasing Shield Mastery causes required attacks combos to hit for increased damage. It will also increase critical strike damage and resistance to control effects while using Shield.

Weapon Mastery Tips

Unlocking as much weapon mastery as you can will grant you access to the Weapon Mastery Points which require you to spend 21 skill points in that weapon tree.

We suggest you to focus on your Main Weapon tree (Shield) and both Cross-Weapons’s tree (Two Handed & Dual Pistols).

Cross-Weapon Combos

Using a super power at the moment Cross-Weapon Combos impact will increase the super power’s chance to crit by 360% and its critical damage significantly.

On healer, tank, and control role, using a super power at the moment Cross-Weapon Combos impact will decrease the super power’s Power cost.
