There a lot questions of "Is Kirara E hold took to the enemies three times makes the shield stronger?"(passive talent 1). A1: Yes! The shield is stronger more 60% with fully 3 stacks by single E hold. But if you do her shield skill two times already, her shield is stacking and reach to the limit. In this case, 3 stacks from E hold can't makes the shield stronger. "Is the shield makes by E hold stronger than E press?" A2: No. It's same.

Baizhu's shield is meant to break by itself even if the character is not being attacked because when it breaks it heals and apply dendro and I don't recall but I think it does something else (that's why it breaks/only stand 1 hit).

[@rendition55]

Outside of Zhongli, Layla seems like the best shielder to me. She only requires one use of her skill, and she has 100% uptime on her shield as long as your rotations are 12 seconds are less (which most teams are). She's definitely not the strongest shield, because other chararcters have stacking mechanics, but her ease of use is only rivaled by Zhongli. On top of that, Cryo doesn't generally hurt most reaction chains so her element isn't a big barrier. Kiara gains a lot more value if there are always at least 3 enemies because she can gain her stacks quicker (same with Xinyan, but.. who is that?), but she loses it outside of those senarios. Yanfei and Thoma are Good shielders but much more niche because pyro can hurt a lot of rotations outside of Burgeon.

[@Hector_JH]

No doubt ❄️✨

[@GiGitteru]

Her ease of use is better than Zhongli's, his hold takes longer while hers is instant, it's the most convenient shield in the game with one tap and 100% uptime

[@user-ll4jj5eu2e]

Also Thoma needs normal attack to stack, which most bow characters don't really use

[@stollgaming9386]

I would say Diona.

[@Marshmellow_Cat]

Also she hits enemies and generates energy, and isn't burst reliant. If you see her burst just press it and go back to your rotation, no need to run around trying to collect some energy and messing up everything. (I personally don't play a specific order or rotation.) I don't like burst reliant characters unless they are worth it or I can somehow easily get energy for them. (Xiao- *cough* )

[@victorthecollector9198]

I love Thoma’s shield, the fact that it stacks the way it does means that even if you break the shitty 5 hit shield there’s another shield as soon as you do a normal attack again. Pretty useful for normal attackers like youmiya or ayato or for characters who really need the resistance to interruption

[@GhostEmblem]

Some things to note: It appears beidou still provides dmg reduction even after her shield pops since unshieled hits do 1016 instead 1562 (1563 for the kiara test). All of the examples appear to have rounding since the shield pops and some overflow damage is taken if the overflow dmg is less than half it is counted as having blocked an extra hit with the sole exception being Nooelle who had an overflow of 887 and was still counted as blocking 13 hits instead of 12 when she blocked less than half of the 13th hit (each hit being 1562).

[@OceanCheng-th1eg]

During yanfei’s shield test, I saw that you were standing in burning grass while deploying the shield, and here 2:29 you can see a 1562 and a 175. If shields work as they give a character a fixed amount of hp, or something similar, I think yanfei’s shield might’ve been able to take one more hit. It’s inconsequential, but something that might want to be retested, I think. Either way, this was a good test, and I appreciate the dedication for owning and leveling all the shielders to do this.

I've played a lot with Layla and now am building and playing a lot with kirara but I feel like kirara shield breaks way easier. Sure her build isn't done (cant seem to drop an hp sands for millelith) but it's mostly done and Layla felt like she shielded better with less investment than I've currently got on kirara. The only thing she shields well is dendro, because it's of course a dendro shield. While I feel like Laylas shield outperforms it with every other element. I cannot imagine the 1 piece makes this much of a difference. Though I kinda forgot what I've got on Layla, I know I built her as a mix for shield and damage and both have jade cutter. It's a bit of head scratcher.

[@HerefortheHorns]

It's the opposite for me. I built Layla some time back, but her shield broke more often then not. And now building kirara with stuff I had laying around it almost never breaks

[@DiaborMagics]

@@HerefortheHorns Funny how that goes. With Kirara I figured out I was playing her wrong though. I did not realize how the stacking worked, so I usually had her 'weak' shield.

[@leviathan005]

This is a great comparison, but it would also be nice to see a calculation that include shield uptime. I.e. multiply the damage absorption by the % uptime. Noelle has 50% (or ~75% with talent) uptime, so her 13 hits is really 6.5 or 10. Layla has 100% uptime, so still 11 hits. And Kirara has 150% uptime, so 16.5 hits. Zhongli with 167% uptime is 26.5 hits. Idk for Thoma (his elemental burst makes it complicated) but I think Kirara has the best shield of all 4*

[@ayameren6579]

Are you serious bro? Why you're so mad that noelle have 2nd strongest shield ? This is just about shiled compression not uptime lol

[@leviathan005]

@@ayameren6579 I have nothing against Noelle. This is pure empirical evidence. And it seems you do not understand the concept or a shield if you are attacking uptime. Uptime is important because it determines how often you can refresh the shield after it wears down. If we want to accurately measure how much protection it can provide, it needs to be considered within the overall flow of battle. I.e. protection against damage over time, not just damage. Does a 2 mil absorption shield that lasts for 0.1 seconds seem any good? Of course not. It may be used to tank one single mega-hit, but that’s a very limited use case.

[@TheNightxSky]

but you also didn't take into consideration crystilize, which with noelle and zhongli would give shields based on reactions. Which puts Noelle still at a slight advantage over others. AND if you main Noelle, there are more factors involved than just uptime. @@leviathan005

The diamond shape of Yanfei’s shield should have been the Crystallize shield shape. The logo symbol of Geo is diamond shaped and the Crystallize shards are diamonds.

[@squeledogworld6951]

Why noelle and zhongli are stronger is because those are geo shields that resist more the physical damage, the rest of shields only has bonus for one specific element (the one the shield is made), geo shields have a slight absorption against all elements

[@Mrigendra-B]

You have to stack Kirara's shield to reach Layla's lvl of shield. Moreover Layla's ascension passive lets her have additional 6% shield for each stack upto 4 stacks. So Kirara may be good for bloom team but outside it Layla is more practical.

Noelle was the first ever character i've won today. Gotta say im pretty happy with the tanking

Alguém pra me enterrar ? Eu não aguento mais essa vida

[@zachknight1402]

So in terms of order it would be 1. Zhongli 2. Layla and Kirara (orders would change depending the type of team you're using) 3. Thoma 4. Noelle 5. Diona 6. Yanfei 7. Beidou 8. Xinyan 9. Baizhu 6, 7, 8 and 9 shouldn't be used for just their shields even though Yanfei's took more hits than Diona's

For me Layla is second. I need her for my Ayaka team and for more cryo. Also If I were to rate just shield she is still second place. The strongest shiled after Zhongli. Noelle's cooldown is to long nad Toma needs skill and ultimate to be good.

[@whyhellothere6855]

Yanfei can definitely be used just for her shield. It works better than thoma for hu tao imo, doesn’t steal reactions and is very tanky

[@cream-ella7223]

What about Kaeya? Doesn’t he gain a shield with a certain constellation?

[@masteraqua2408]

ningguam is a very good crystalize shielder with em build

Weed-nim? Moonlight sculptor? Edit: indeed ,it was a moonlight sculptor reference.

[@Mimikyu-de-Peluche]

Baizhu makes you inmortal his shield is paper thin but heals you re appear and buffs you

[@MCUZINS]

Not your aether being named Weed lol😂😂😂

[@boredraccoon1896]

and people were whining abt Thoma's kit, my man can absorb almost as much as Zhongli

[@samkelly5045]

It’s mainly because Thoma needs his burst while Zhongli just needs his skill, it’s still a pretty decent shield but it needs more setup

[@ruen_me1361]

@@samkelly5045I personally really like it tho, perma interrupt res on ult uptime for a for star and its pyro is nice for the teams that use it, almost all characters ult every rotation so its not too bad just awkward in over world

[@TheOtherOne7isBlueMaid]

Baizhu at the end 💀💀💀

[@Jayzee-meh]

this is why I'm glad having zhongli

[@saadbinrahman6980]

Sword users aren't using key But others using hp% or def% weapons Not a fair comparison

Bennett in inventory: Give me the C6 !!

[@XxczxyxX]

[@cheesemomo]

thoma shield can be extremely good if he has enough ER
