Hey it’s alright

You heard of his voice actor, haven't you...?

He's also not a complete idiot Naofumi in addition to trying to understand the mechanics thinks about different ways to use them to his advantage even if it's not the way it's intended to be used(like any true gamer) the other 3 just spam skills until it dies so even if they read the instructions it probably wouldn't matter given they just spam If this was a fighting game Naofumi is the type of guy to actually learn and practice the combos and timing while the other 3 just spam the A button and hope it works

Well and him NOT treating the world like a game probably also helped too.

hes not entirely op others are just dumb and weak

Basically understanding the mechanic of the skill and flexing its mechanics

He had to learn basically everything about the new world and was forced to try anything and everything. The LN goes more into details about all his fails

Exactly. Because he had no foreknowledge he was forced learn everything from the ground up including magic and the written language of this world. This also allowed him to quickly realize that, for whatever reason, the foreknowledge the other heroes had often did not match up one to one with the actual world they were summoned to. Also, the other heroes all learned their magic from orbs that just granted them the spells with no knowledge of how it actually worked. Naofumi had to learn from a book. This was far more difficult because he didn’t know the language and magic books seemed to be their own language on top of that, but it gave him far more flexibility in how he casts magic as well as having an understanding of how it actually worked which allowed him to improve and cast more advanced versions of the magic he learned from the books. The other heroes refuse to actually take the time to learn anything, assume everything can be done by their weapons, assume Naofumi learned the written language from a shield unlock, and use it as another excuse to continue being jerks to him because they think he just refuses to tell them the material he gave his shield to unlock the language. One thing I like about this story is that while Naofumi is one of the strongest people around and continues to get stronger he has had to work and suffer for every tiny scrap of it and will continue to do so.

plus with the 4 cardinal weapons ability to summon pick out who gets summoned is playing role in it too, as Shield always gets its first choice but the other three often get dont get there top pick. This leading to the hero they get having general problems. Naofumi didn't get those cheat crystals to learn magic an learned it through hard work, gave him genera understanding how magic worked an thu made him much stronger. But ya the other 3 just are trying to brute force every fight while chugging spirit potions as they burn there SP with out a plan

And got that 100% completion mindset

And that achievement hunter guide

Completed New Game +.

He asked for the advice of the other 3 Cardinal Heroes. He listened to the advice even though it was given in a very condescending manner. Then he earnestly sought out ways to apply it all.

Ah, a fellow gamefaqs enjoyer, i see

Thanks again Jose! I hope to keep providing that quality content for you!

Iron Maiden started with shield prison went to change shield attack then ended with Iron Maiden

It original skill suppose to be called 'Erst Shield' erst meaning first in german. Thats why he had another skill called second shield and dritte shield that summon another 'air strike' shield with longer range. Erst-secand-dritte (first-second-third) The miss typo translation originate from the fan translatiom of the web-novel(Which isnt canon btw people have been kept asking that) and the offical translation for the light novel just went right with it without much more research. This also works for other 'air strike' skill like air strike javelin The shield wasnt suppose to move nor teleport like how it shown in the tortoise battle. Its like a brick wall being put on certain places until that shield is destroyed or finished run down time

@@MILD676 This is good info, I always just assumed it was Air Strike Shield because being a shield that could be summoned and planted in the air, it works to protect yourself and allies from any sort of air strike... so a shield against air strikes not a shield that does them...

Not how or when, but I had the impression Air Strike was a mistranslation and was supposed to be something along the lines of first, especially if wwe consider the Second Shield and the Dritte(third in german) Shield.

Look up pavise shield, there is one guy who made a custom one with a very sharp end on KZfaq and let me tell you it looks dope he also goes into detail on its history and use.

Yeah, the fact that everything stacks should make all the heroes incredibly powerful, the rest have just gotten lazy in how they go about it.

Could you explain the weapon choice part?

@@pegaferno4429 The weapons are sentient and they get to choose their wielders. So of the Heroes we have, only Naofumi was his weapon's first choice of wielder. The other guys are third stringers.

I have a theory, that legendary shield simply purposely removed offence stats, why you may ask? Why would you need offence stat if you have 3 legendary heroes who already focus purely on offence, why not focus on your main task: defending and defend other legendary heroes. Ancient/previous shield hero only had bow hero to relay on. Which is a ranged glass cannon, if he dies, there is no one else(ignoring star heroes). So it does make sense for shield to have low, but still have some offence stats, just in case, but if you have 3 heroes, the chances of them all dyeing before you are low, either you do poor job or your offence stat as shield hero would be useless anyways. Next thing spirit have mentioned, is that shield heroes DIE super fast, like super fast compared to others, so it would make sense for spirit to perhaps look at more defensive/more tanky hero, to increase likelihood of them surviving. I feel like shield spirit decided to simply rework/change build of it's weapon and make it's heroes focus purely on defense and no offence. This is just a theory though.

@@darkpaul1uxgaming269 I believe the nature of the second set of waves may have something to do with that hero having offensive capabilities.

@@sapphirII Oh true, deathmatch kinda went extinct, so yeah it does make sense for changes in waves to effect overall build of the shield.

How to be OP: just make and kill a raid boss.

@@nicolrb2210 Or just be The Main Character.

@@user-em6ie2be7x not everyone can be the main character

I do love me some dark gas burning

@@user-em6ie2be7x Main characters are overrated

Isen't it stated in season one that she's a former party member of a prior shield hero just like Filo?

@@warllockmasterasd9142 , in the anime, they left out the fact that residence in the same world can be appointed to be holders of the vasal weapon.

I felt it was pretty obvious why he hesitated... or would be if he was a nicer person like most heroes in anime. Because it was corrupted and not really harming everyone of it's own volition. Kind of. I mean, clearly not entirely, given it's actual intended purpose... but still.

I was very much worried when I saw episode 7... and the first "oh dear lord WHY STUDIO WHY!" Was the Raphtalia flag.... It's bad enough they are screwed up over 6 episodes, now we have to trust in their "Creativity" to fix it? We're doomed.

It seems like they are purposely trying to speed run through the plot.

@@olandir Though to be fair, the studio working on this is far more used to working on longer projects and they are just now getting back on track. Shield Hero is far more suited for a movie adaptation rather than a show adaptation. Shield Hero has a lot of plot and rules for a show.

A bit? Aren't they infamous for their unfair contracts? Or am I thinking of something else?

@@jm6456 yeah that's them.

@@jm6456 Can you explain?

yeah reading is a good thing.

It's naofumi's "Soul" that op as the shield will do whatever it can within reason to have "help" naofumi. Good or for not as the Warth was gained due to naofumi breaking.

Defensive builds are underrated. If you have huge resistance, you can just wage a war of attrition

Especially after he uses Blood Sacrifice

@@warbrain1053 They definitely are. Most games let you have 5 playstyles. 1: Setter (You tank and enable teammates through crowd control) 2: Bruiser (Tank and deal big damage back) 3: Tank (You just eat a lot of damage and can take aggro) 4: Support Tank (Debuff or buff while tanking) 5: Self Sustain Tank (They can keep their own health high) For Mobas you'll see a lot of setters/peelers pulling in enemies to then get deleted by the team's dps players. Bruisers and tanks are more common in most games. Support tanks can be seen in turn based games. Self Sustain tanks is very common in pokemon and Mobas. One of the more extreme examples I have would probably be Persona 5 Royale. One of my demons passively had massive damage reduction, status cleanse and insta-kill immunity. My passive sustain let me recover 98% of my HP at the start of every turn and I had 1 auto revive for every battle. You can only make it very late game where it's not needed but I could enable auto-battle for ng+ against hard usually late game boss and passively over level myself while I do other things. I know there are games that let you just nuke everything or have high difficulties do too much damage that you can't tank but for the once with more combat depth having variety is good. I know for 1v1 in pokemon self sustain tanks can be very strong if they can also give a health draining status effect to the opponent.

that is why i choose bulbasaur as starter. Having leech, poison and healing breaks the game. My venausaur could solo team of legendary (until i drained out of sp or potions).

His counters are rather weak, although they do get increased by increasing the rarity of the shield by the sword energy system, and he get in book 22 a new method that increase skill but using it more. That being said, I don't expect to see him use more counters.

He does use counters. The venom snakes from the green chimera viper shield and some other are usually being used by him. The problem is that he sometimes dont have the much time to do counters. The counters also becoming more weak as they are facing an even greater enemy

Counters can be easily exploited and doesn’t work if the opponent can break his defense easily.

That right there is one of the reasons even at the start Maple from Bofuri was an absolutely disgusting opponent for people to fight. Nigh immortal defensively and had one of if not the most busted poison skills in the game

Or it knocked him back because Motoyasu is dumb af and he wasn't expecting it, mainly.

PS yes he also put different plants,grasses and weeds into his shield as well as items he crafted.

Uh... Ottarl or maybe Ais? Finn is apparently even stronger than where Ais is currently... though not by much. I honestly think Ottarl is the best alternate option atm.

I actually stopped watching season 2, because the pacing is so horrid. They completely ruined Ost and the moment I saw what they did with the Arc where Naofumi meets Kizuna I just lost interest. The anime completely butchered the story. I guess I'll just stick to the manga and LN. The Light Novel is great. Naofumi has so many great scenes in it, that it feels like a completely different story from the Anime. Maybe I'll start reading volume 13 soon. After the anime butchered the current arc, i have no reason to withhold myself from actually reading the good parts.

I can understand how you feel though I still enjoy watching anime if for no other reason than to compare and contrast. In short I can praise what the anime does well and critique what poorly if only to myself

@@fightking100 Very much true. I love the anime for its own reason. Just kinda disheartened that its not like what I read in the manga but then again placing the idea that anime = manga shot for shot was my own fault when in actuality the manga isnt directly the same as the LN based on what I read on.

@@kerrvyap I'd also argue the manga's pacing isn't good either, just the inverse.

Dude I used to read the manga and the direction the story goes gets worse. I got so bored I put it down

Deafness is undesirable.

@@user-on5dl9hc2z Usually with status effects (Like in RPG's) it would only effect whatever the echo shield would've been pointed at not Naofumi or his allies.

That shield just boosts sound, maybe indirect damage

Why he will use it if can nuke the battlefield ?

@@user-em6ie2be7x when he used it on the nue he had raphtalia and the witch block their ears. plus the nue had better hearing and would be more effective than on other people
