The Water Shield in action

Powered by the element of Water, this shield enables the wielder to become a defensive powerhouse.

An ocean is capable of destroying cities in a single great wave. A focused stream can burrow through stone. Ice can slow the greatest of armies to a crawl. The magic stored in this shield unlocks all of these abilities, should you learn how to control it.

Crest

Even the most basic of attacks from this weapon can render a foe helpless. A rush of icy water pounds the enemy. Not only will your target be frozen, and unable to attack you back, but he will be forced backward. Now, you have room to maneuver, and time to plan your next attack.

Advanced players will use it to position enemies where they want; move an Archer in range of your defensive towers for an easier battle, or force a Fire Knight away from your town’s gate to keep it safe.

Wipe out an entire army

Depth Charge

A series of explosions shake the earth. Plumes of water erupt from the ground, sending the oncoming army flying in all directions. Disrupted, tattered, disoriented, the remnants are easy pickings.

Depth Charge is best used on groups of oncoming enemies. The further the group is from you, the more you can hit of them, as the attack radiates out from you in a cone. Remember, you can always run away to give yourself the distance you need.

Gain maneuvering space

Tidal Wave

You’re surrounded; monsters pressing in on all sides. You can’t even find room to breathe, never mind fight back. You crouch down, and hold your shield over your head. Giant waves rapidly expand around you, reaching to the heavens. The force of the expansion knocks everyone around you away, and the ice water leaves them frozen in place, unable to move.

With damage, knockback, and freezing, Tidal Wave is a powerful defensive spell. Use it when you’re surrounded, or when you want to pin foes in place – they’ll be helpless against your Depth Charge now.

Cyclone

Great cities and civilizations have fallen before the might of giant weather storms such as these. With wind howling in every direction, hail pummeling, and sleet blinding, getting lost in the middle of a summoned cyclone will spell certain destruction.

Unlike the other powers at your disposal, cyclone will continue to do damage to your enemies over time. Be sure to cast it where your enemies are trapped, or use it to defend a weak area. When your foes walk through your cyclone, they’ll regret it.
