Summary
- Bomb & Shield is a Variant of the Bombardier.
- Bomb & Shield is mostly identical to Bombardiers in behavior, though with significantly lower DPS and provides Shield Points (equivalent to 50% of their max health) to all other members of the squad if any of its members are killed.
- Shield Points gained from this perk do not deplete over time but function identically to those granted by other sources, and any excess damage from the hit that destroys them will be negated.
Visual Appearance
- The Bomb & Shield appears to be a Bombardier equipped with three large blue shields, all slightly worn. One of them is embedded onto his weapon.
- He wears a damaged olive helmet, a matching belt, orange shades and has a brown mustache and full beard.
Offensive Strategy
- Like their normal counterpart, the Bomb & Shield is best used when they can stand behind a tankier unit and deal damage from a good distance away. The Bomb & Shield can be effectively utilized in the same way normal Bombardiers can be used.
- Defences like Boom Cannons, Rocket Launchers, and Shock Launchers can pose a significant threat to the very low health possessed by the Bomb & Shield.
- However, if one member of the squad is defeated, the rest of the squad gains a significant resistance to these defences, making it much harder to lose two members of the Bomb & Shield's squad in quick succession.
Defensive Strategy
- Grapplers can pull the Bomb & Shield into the base, which results in the rapid destruction of their shields (if they had one).
- Every Building which normally counters the Bombardier also counts the Bomb & Shield easily. The only difference would be that they need an extra shot due to their shields.
Trivia
- Unlike other Squad Leaders, the Bomb & Shield does not have a visible shoulder pad indicating his rank.
- But in the Concept Art Bomb & Shield has a visible shoulder pad.
- The sprite for the generated shield is identical to that of all other abilities that generate shields over troops.
- The Bomb & Shield, along with the Ninja Zooka, Minesweeper, Firebrand, Meatshield, and Mooka all apply their perk to their entire squad.
- Despite appearing very heavily fortified in its troop art, the Bomb & Shield projects a crystal shield onto its squad mates.
