After playing the night with this upgrade, I’m curious to know what others think of it. I enjoy the upgrade for BA because it changes the playstyle of Corn immensely; it’s like having a new character altogether.
I predict the TT crowd will detest this upgrade and curious if you’re already seeing in Turf? I’ve only seen one Shogun in BA.
EDIT: phone
After playing with this upgrade the better part of the day, I’ll say I’m impressed with the implementation of the upgrade. The difference in with Shogun and without isn’t an advantage but more of a preference (like preferring Commando Corn over Party Corn in GW2 but both were great).
The upgrade could be reduced to 4 slots for all I care. Great, great upgrade for BA.
@spIash_damageI'd say you're right about the firing change being down to personal preference, but would've thought having the shield is a big help?
Will be interesting to see anyway, assuming I get to the end of the map! 🤣
@PineapplePiano Though I'm looking forward to there being a new character, I'm quite nervous about the impact it's going to have. Glad plants at least got a legendary upgrade first, will have to hope it helps . . .
(Edit: morning, early)
Final verdict: the upgrade just isn’t for me. I’ve put it on my #2 loadout but will only use it under extenuating circumstances (if I’m stuck on the 7th round of BA and my enemies only have non-melee characters to play against).
The shield isn’t worth it for me because the price is too high when the ROF is so slow.

Based on what I've seen, I somewhat have to agree with you. I like this upgrade and it seems useful - but at the same time, it doesn't do a whole lot! The shield is a nice add-on, especially since you can fire with your primary without consuming your ability, but the shield's health is too low and takes a while to regenerate. The damage increase is traded off for speed, so you're not getting a largely significant DPS boost (you get some though). Overall, though, I'm looking forward to getting it, it seems like a handy upgrade to have (in some situations), and I hope this upgrade works out well! 🙂
I'm just 4 stars away from getting it... auch well at least its a wee change and something new to play with 😃
I've got a long way to go myself, I should unlock the Imp legendary hat tonight (I'm not bee-lining for it, I'm finished each page before moving on). I'm very glad for your report @spIash_damage as it sounds like it's not a pay to win upgrade but a personal choice one and that's fantastic news to be sure. I'm looking forward to more of these if this is the standard.
I still haven't played with this upgrade but from what I've seen the upgrade would probably be more interesting if you could keep your standard rate of fire.
I'd like to see this upgrade divided into two parts:
I still think that playing with the upgrades which are actually imitating variants should be equipable for no costs at all.

I think the problem lies with the existing upgrade that increases ROF for critical vanquishes that costs 3 slots. Shielding and rapid fire of 11hp is scary. I think critical shots inflict 13 HPs, too.
That said, I LOVE that idea, if there was a way to work around what I’ve expressed.
