No to shield buster

@J6niceL You know it would have come in great on those long Saturday’s waiting for someone who was trailing to come out of the shield. Thinking about it in hindsight this would have been a great deterrent in eliminating some of the complaints about not getting enough shots (as if I had any control over it). Take care my friend.

Dears, my sincere opinion.
Maybe the shield really took away the thrill of war, i agree.
I repeat, my team has low individual patents (between 12 and 18) with 2 or 3 above that. We compensate in the collective (it is advantageous to be all from the same country). I don't know how your teams are.
Our team started well, with everyone online beating.
At dawn, the opponent turned the score.
Then we would attack at their dawn.
There were 3 moments of attack: beginning, middle and end.
With the anti shield, it's all the time.
Rules must be implemented.
Either shorter wars, or anti-shield usage limits.
As it stands, it only favors hackers.
Now a tip (maybe you already use).
A good strategy when using the anti shield: attack the opponent early when he is off, and 4 simultaneous players with accelerator.
Use jackpot I, the first player starts to beat, the second player ends with a big atack. The third uses anti shield and then attacks with Monster Plant, and the fourth ends again with big attack.
Everyone waits about 8 minutes to recharge their energy.
Before the jackpot is over, the second player uses the new shield again, the third and fourth attack, and the first, with more charged energy, finishes.
If everyone has the acelerator level 3, it is possible to repeat this play 4x !!!!
With the same jackpot I, it is possible to knock the same opponent 4 times !!!!!
This is important to save resources, and maximizes points.
Good day for all.

Yes, we had used that on opponents and have opponents using that on us. Level 2 jackpots had finally proven to be useful lol (before shield buster, I wouldn’t even bother to get them since they are more expensive and perform the same function as level 1 jackpot).
I usually stop them with dud. Funny that umbrella is useless against shield buster.

@J6niceL
Two questions. 1. Does the anti shield break the umbrella? 2. If the anti shield is used, and immediately after the target player uses the umbrella, is he protected? Like, could the opponent throw a second anti-shield to break the umbrella? Its abuse or be abused by it. Used it on their away player 10x for the win
I'll take the bad back. We love it. We know we will get killed by it later, but when teams are fair. We pick one dude who isnt around and use it 6 times in one hour on them. They quit. Lolololoolololooooolllloooooo
Keep it EA. Its wonderful
Ha. Ok, worked till all they used is mags to score 50k. Ok 80k... 50 to pass us
Yes, umbrella will not stop shield buster in all situations. I had experimented with it already. But the umbrella will still remain after being hit with shield buster.
So basically, umbrella can’t protect you from being attacked by shield buster but it still protects you from all other attacks. Shield buster can’t destroy it completely.
- @J6niceL Actually, once Shield Buster goes through that umbrella, other attacks CAN and do also penetrate and score. Our team tested this multiple times a couple weeks back and each time we used SB on a domed and umbrella'd opponent, all subsequent shots also scored points. I don't know if this was a glitch (we didn't use SB this past week's war) that has since been fixed, but as of about 2-3 weeks ago, anyone could fire and score after SB broke through a bubble + umbrella'd city.
Thanks for highlighting it. Actually, I didn’t get to try shield busting a domed city with umbrella. I did it on an open city with umbrella, there were damages but the umbrella stayed intact. So good to know that umbrella is 100% useless when used on domed cities.
Think the ones around were out of booster uses
Yup, guess the new strategy is to stock up lots of duds and jackpots. Forget about the umbrellas. Can keep a few freezes for some special cases. Boost is useful for “strike, shield buster, strike, shield buster ...” with jackpot on least active opponent. More useful when working with team members to attack.
Correction on my part. After using shield buster on open city, the umbrella looks intact, but we can still attack with other attacks.
So you are right, and basically, umbrella is really 100% useless lol Except to deter clueless opponents from attacking
- @J6niceL Hey, have you done any wars in the past couple days? Early reports from FB group are claiming EA may have corrected the “SB neutralizes umbrellas” debacle but I don’t have firsthand evidence to corroborate.
Our war is today so I’ll report back if we can no longer use SB on umbrellas, if no one else reports here first. (Keeping fingers crossed they actually fixed it.) I haven’t got around to trying SB on umbrellas since facing some tough competition these days, so I can’t afford to try it out lol
