Alternate Skin: Futuristic Atrocity
*In essence, Headpieces are two abilities in one. They have both a Held effect, and an Activated effect.
The Activated Effect generates a “shield” that spins around the player, blocking shots for a certain amount of time or until it is destroyed. This will not block piercing shots, of course. This can be activated at the same time as the Held Effect.
The Held Effect, on the other hand, will grant a Defense bonus to the player as well as nearby allies. You can hold this down after you have already used your Activated Effect.
With each progressing tier, Shields will have more Health to start out with as well as more Defense, and will gain more with the more Wisdom you have. They will also move around the user faster, based on one full rotation around the player, with the Max Duration of them being higher at later tiers. Later tiers will also have more than a single Shield, which will prove useful if used correctly. Due to this, though, the MP Cost quickly rises.
With each progressing tier, the Held Effect will grant bonus Defense to allies in a larger area based on their tier, with more Defense being given based on the Tier being used. It will always cost the same amount of MP per second.
Untiered shields, however, will grant different bonuses for their Held Effect and will have special properties for their Activated Effect’s shields. There are four UT headpieces for this class, as well as an ST headpiece that comes with its set, all of which utilize the versatility of the Shield’s function.
Unless stated, all shields will have a cooldown relative to how long their shields stay up. This means you cannot activate your ability again until all shields either disappear or are destroyed. This is mainly to prevent spamming.
To show when a shield is about to disappear, all shields will flash much like portals and loot bags do. This is to make sure that casualties do not happen because of the inability to count the seconds a shield has been up.

Abilities with their shields in order from Base Tier to Tier 7:
Shield Explanation:
(Sizes in this image do not reflect their size in-game.)
Shields will always start exactly 1 tile above you based on 0 degrees, at least for the first shield at later tiers. As more shields come into play, they will make either a straight line or a triangle, depending on the tier. They will make a direct circle around you until they are destroyed or disappear, and move based on the speed listed, based on rotations/second. Note: Shields are 1.2x the size of an 8x8 skin.

Abilities with their shields in order from top to bottom:
Mark of the Warlord:
This headpiece is meant to be a whole lot of offense rather than Defense. That’s why the Held effect not only grants Attack instead of Defense, but also has a “shield” that will not block projectiles but fire them back at enemies. It also grants exceptional offensive stats.
Titan’s Headpiece:
This headpiece is meant to be a stationary defense rather than one that follows you. Because of this, it can provide protection to other players besides yourself in a very beneficial way, since they do have the highest Health and Defense of all shields. It also lasts less time than tiered shields, and while it only gives 15 Defense for its Held Effect, it starts within 3 squares.
Crusader’s Pendant:
This headpiece is definitely very interesting. It combines offense and defense by utilizing both effects in an interesting way. The Held Effect gives Speedy and Berserk for the cost of also giving Sick, and its Activated Effect will block every shot with no consequence for 3.5 seconds before disappearing entirely. Even if it does not hit shots, if a single shot hits it, the timer will start. Its Held Effect also gives Defense in 2.5 squares, 0.25 squares higher than Tier 6 does.
Mechanical Generator:
This headpiece does something that no other headpiece will do for its Activated Effect: it negates pierce. This can be a big change in defending, though it comes with a drawback: the shields will be much farther out than the others, at twice the distance. This can be either beneficial or detrimental depending on how its used. It also gives Wisdom in its Held Effect radius rather than Defense, which can help other classes, and it makes you immune to any status effect while hindering your movement and firing speed.
Headpiece of the Slime Lord:
This headpiece was inspired by the idea by @Disisstupi, where rather than blocking shots or shooting projectiles at enemies, it leaves behind a trail much like the Slimes in the Toxic Sewers. It carries the effect of the Golden Slime, since the Brown Slime’s effect would do nothing to enemies. It’ll be hard to land every single one of the trail pieces on an enemy unless you perfectly circled them, so it doing too much damage isn’t an issue. It also swaps out a stat bonus on the Held Effect to instead give Slowed to any enemy that is nearby, making this more tactical.
Titan’s Headpiece Explanation:
(Sizes in this image do not reflect their size in-game.)
Upon using this Headpiece, it will spawn the pillar and the shields around the pillar at the same time. They will stand 1 tile away from the pillar at all times, and will only circle the pillar, nothing else. Once all of the shields are destroyed, the pillar will be as well, enabling the cooldown. (This is the only shield that is bigger than the others, at 1.5x the size. Pillar stays the same size as with Marble Seal.)
Mechanical Generator Explanation:
(Sizes in this image do not reflect their size in-game.)
Upon using the Mechanical Generator, both of the shields will spawn 2 tiles from the user rather than one. Because of this, there is much more open area between you and these two shields. Note: This also applies to the Sukuinishi No Okurimono, as they have the same stance.

Sukuinishi No Okurimono shield:
Seigi No Ha:
This katana boasts very high offensive powers and the ability to pierce armor, as well as slightly higher range, for a big downside: it does not pierce enemies. Because of this, it has a similar fate to the Crystal Wand, making it much better for singular targets.
Translates to “Righteous Blade” in Japanese
Sukuinishi No Okurimono:
This headpiece is much more focused on being priest-like than much else. It’s still able to defend, but its main focus is healing nearby allies. It also stands 2.5 tiles from the user, making it so that it’s more likely to heal allies than yourself as to prevent abuse. Its Held Effect also gives healing and Vitality to allies and yourself, and makes yourself immune to Blind and Darkness, which can be very helpful when they’re present.
Translates to “Savior’s Gift” in Japanese
Kami No Yoroi:
This leather armor is very interesting in what it does. It does not have as much Defense as higher tiered armors and gives no Dexterity, but gives a little bit of Speed and quite a high amount of Wisdom. This makes it viable for other classes while giving it a great use for the Samurai.
Translates to “Armor of Divinity” in Japanese
Fukanen’na Ishi:
This ring is a blessing for any class that needs Wisdom for their ability. Not only does it give great Defense, decent Health and even Speed, it gives 8 Wisdom. Even classes that do not necessarily benefit from Wisdom would find benefit in this ring, as the Speed mixed with the Defense and Health can prove to be very beneficial.
Translates to “Imperfect Stone” in Japanese
(I’m not skilled enough to make a 16x16 skin, so there isn’t one. If you can make one, that would be appreciated!)
Special Thanks:
Demaratus, for sparking the idea of having shields flash to indicate when they are going to disappear.
Ladoodee, for suggesting a new Tier 6 description as well as inspiring the crisper descriptions that the tiered headpieces have.
DarkDaemon, for talking about the Defense equivalent to the Knight, which inspired me to balance out the Defense values.
TannerLG, for suggesting the base Defense be changed to 25(despite being changed later) and for suggesting the decrease of Shield base health.
Wink, who pointed out the fact Shogun is a title rather than an actual fighter type.
MarchStar, for translating the ST set name for me, as well as a suggestion for the descriptions of the Seigi No Ha and Headpiece of Resilience and the new Seigi No Ha shot.
Atrapper, for suggesting to change it to a Leather class. (Along with the others who voted for it in the poll.)
Harryvvvvv, who inspired the shield reduction and removal of Shield Defense’s Wis mod.
DreadHerod, for the new Kami no Yoroi description and the new Mechanical Generator description.
Disisstupi, for giving the idea of the Headpiece of the Slime Lord.
