Not all nova shields are made equal, I present to you the only reason to farm the Guardian takedown.

[@ancient_rune]

Globetrottr and Lightspeed are as meta as the stinger shield? And Smog and Webslinger are very solid weapons

[@aidenturpin9721]

​​@@ancient_rune The web slinger is just straight ass for damage and so is the smog, the globetrotter is only good on a boresplosion Zane build, it's ok outside of that

[@ancient_rune]

@aidenturpin9721 that's just not true. Smog is a very very solid smg. I have seen people effectively use webslinger. And globetrottr is good on everyone. It's just insane on Zane

[@austinchittam2373]

Can’t wait to see you covering BL4❤

[@bretterry8356]

Rakksplosion Flak: Spiderant Scorcher+Rakk Attack+Peregrine+Corrosive Fish Slap w/ASE incindiary annoint+Psycho Stabber w/ASE melee annoint+cryo stone static shock+Stinger w/shield break annoint. On the tree, don't go for Megavore or the usual crit and gun damage skills since they don't affect grenade damage, and we're stacking everything on the Fish Slap. Grab things that boost generic damage like The Power Inside as well as elemental damage like Barbaric Yawp increasing the Scorcher's buff. I use Blade Fury for mobbing so I can shoot as well as use Rakks, Psycho Stabber for bossing, Face Puncher with U-Rad for second winds, and the Res to revive my pet quickly, because it can go down from being right next to an enemy when the Fish Slap hits.

[@AltagraciaRosas-gh7bi]

i imagine this being “the best nova shield” depends on if u spec for melee, because nova berner can hit pretty hard and void rift / black hole have a rly effective CC with their nova

[@DoofusPics]

i’ve gotten several of these from the diamond key room

[@supers0nic77]

That's what's up right there

[@supers0nic77]

Makes me wonder though, do all legendaries have a chance to spawn there?

[@DoofusPics]

@@supers0nic77 That's a great question. I've seen a ton of top tier loot in that room, including the Plasma Coil and Stinger. I checked Loot lemon and it doesn't list the diamond key room as a source.

[@Holycurative9610]

@@supers0nic77 I think they must and the last item you get on the little stand in the middle of the room is always from the Black Market Vending Machine. My son told me that so it must be true🤣🤣 MentalMars says "Does the Diamond Armory have exclusive loot? No, every item in the Diamond Armory is also available throughout the game. There are a few challenge/quest rewards that don’t have a dedicated loot source that appear in the Diamond Armory."

[@supers0nic77]

@@DoofusPics yeah sometimes they don't have the right info but i still like them

[@jvsilky]

Only problem is getting it. Did 3 runs of anathema just to get it out of diamond key room.

[@DoofusPics]

Yo SGZ, The diamond key room may be a good video. What items are possible, what are likely and what are worth farming in the room. How to get keys etc.

[@rotz394]

Oh I didn't realize the Elemental Crit anoint boosted it, guess I'm gonna try to fish for that on my Guardian 4N631.

[@arthurlara4282]

Still haven't tried this shield. Have a few in the bank. Next time I play BL3 I'm going to use all the gear I've never tried

[@blackman2101]

Spending my free time farming anathema trying to get a fire Stinger, 20 minutes of Takedown just to not get one to drop is miserable

[@jonatasmoreiragoncalves6432]

Maybe a fire stone relic turns the nova into a elemental...i dont try it yet

[@DoofusPics]

Get the shift diamond keys from the codes available. Duplicate them from the known trick, then farm the diamond key room

[@Holycurative9610]

I duped a ton of diamond keys by reclaiming offline and then save quit and they'll be back in your mailbox to redeem again. There are lots of YT vids on how to do it and shift codes were released recently that gave you 50 lootbox keys and 10 diamond keys.

[@AngeIicFerret]

Is the fish slap still obtainable

[@SpartanGameZone]

Yes just make sure you activate the Cartel Event from the main menu

[@maxmusterman3371]

I ran so many guardian takedowns with my root eraser zane. But the radiation stinger is just evading me 😭

[@freechurro6843]

Frozen heart is arguably the best imo, you get cryo novas and healing and with the activate shield effects on action skill end you are unkillable from a mobbing standpoint

[@Holycurative9610]

G'day SGZ... I was wondering if you were considering making a build that included the stinger. I ask because I've used a couple of your builds as the base for a new playthrough and I have a lot of fun with them, especially snowshoe Moze as I call that particular build, the one that throws icebergs everywhere!! I'm on a Rak-attack Flak run at the minute and having a ball doing the DLC stuff but using more elemental damage as opposed to out and out gun damage, it's interesting playing around with the different weapons, artifacts, anoints, class mods and shields. We think of Moze as splash damage elemental queen but I'm getting some good damage out of old Flakky boy👍👍👍👍 Enjoying the vids BTW💯💯

[@SpartanGameZone]

Hey man, for stinger builds you can check out Rakk Stab for FL4K and Mystic Striker for Amara they feature in the FL4K builds and Amara builds videos respectively.

[@baileynightshade617]

I feel kinda dumb, got the shield, got the artifact, went with a kensei to use just about any gun I wanted, my damage is terrible can't even kill basic enemies

[@brooklynbradley]

Isn't this a world drop?

[@Gash_Kobeth]

No, it doesn't world drop, you might have this confused with the Impaler which has a very similar shape and does world drop.

[@philosophichuman1507]

Or I could just hit the diamond key room.

[@SpartanGameZone]
