Enchanted Shade Gnoll Riot Forces Crowd Control Shield
the riot shield · the GET BACK shield
She kept it in its original form because it makes her look imposing, then turned it sideways and rammed with it.
Story so far
Katia Grim fights the whole chapter with the riot shield on her left arm, deliberately kept in its original form rather than reshaped — at eight feet tall and wide in her she-hulk form, she says it makes her look especially imposing.
Its battlefield use is less decorative. At the broken chokepoint she rotates it ninety degrees and pushes it forward as a literal battering ram, then triggers Crowd Blast behind it and clears a packed hallway. The shield takes the acid mist that comes back off the impact along with her.
Appearance
A full-length riot shield held edge-on, acid-scarred.
Role
Katia's shield, and the head of her battering ram.
Relationships
Katia Grim — Her main defensive item, kept unmodified on purpose.
Crowd Blast — Used together as a ram-and-charge combination.
