Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield | The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2

What only knows people who read the novel is, that Ray gun worked using turtle's power and for that reason Naoufumi could attack, as you may have seen, Ost forced the shield to do it cause normally it wouldn't So maybe in the future you will hear him trying to use that shield again but will be impossible because he don't have enough power and the only way to obtain it is absorbing the power of the guardians beasts

[@Brutalyte616]

Funnily enough, it's more because Naofumi has had to struggle and make the most of everything he has, whereas Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki had the benefit of infrastructure set in their favor and meta knowledge about the world that helped them speedrun everything early on, but that's ironically made them rather inept at actually fighting because they haven't taken anything particularly seriously since the start, and the builds they've been focusing on are deeply suboptimal because they're focusing on specific upgrade paths that sacrifice virtually all utility on the altar of DPS. Incidentally, this means that they don't have as many passive stat boosts as they should for their level, which is inadvertently gimping them compared to Naofumi, who should be weaker than them by all rights, and their tactical flexibility is essentially nonexistent because again, the morons focused on damage instead of, say, crowd control.

[@tunatuna1477]

Rage curse , new skill with every new boss and this Plot armor The man can do anything tank,DPS and healer

[@imhere8474]

It’s actually explained much later in the series, not sure if it was web or light novel but spoilers ahead: Each legendary weapon gets to pick their heroes so it can summon them, however the summoning of the best fit doesn’t always succeed. Naofumi was the shields first choice and it got lucky with picking him. If I remember correctly the other three were their weapons third choices because they couldn’t summon the others. This means naofumi was the best fit for the shield so he was technically ’special’ meaning he needed less of a push for his weapon to reach full potential

One Time thing. This Shield ends up being his strongest one for a while (besides the Shield of Wrath) but this ability couldn't be used again because is a very high level one.

He uses it one more time. After that there isn't enough Soul Energy.
