— The Demoman
|
” |
The Splendid Screen is a community-created secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is an iron shield spattered with blood, with four bosses in the cardinal directions and a larger boss in the middle.
The Splendid Screen's charge ability is more potent than the Chargin' Targe's; there is no minimum distance required to deliver damage with a shield bash, and a successful charge bash delivers 70% more damage, or 85 damage. Like the Targe, heads gathered by the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron will increase the damage of the bash, at a maximum of 5 heads to an additional 85 damage, or 170 damage total. However, the Splendid Screen only offers +20% fire resistance and +15% explosive resistance, instead of the Targe's +50% fire resistance and +40% explosive resistance. Additionally, the Screen does not share the afterburn immunity of the Chargin' Targe.
The strength of the charge is indicated in a meter in the HUD which changes color as it depletes. Using a melee weapon in conjunction with the charge will provide extra damage potential. For example, when the meter is white or green, a melee attack will only do normal damage. At the yellow color, essentially half of the charge distance, striking will add mini-crit damage. Finally, moving the full distance and attacking at red will give it a full-power critical hit. Additionally, disregarding distance charged, you still get a melee crit swing immediately after bashing into a player. While charging, any enemy in the direct path will be bashed by the Splendid Screen provided the player does not end the charge prematurely by attacking.
This item has four different styles. These styles, titled "Classic", "Spike", "Arrow", and "Spike and Arrow", allow the Splendid Screen to bear a spike, an arrow, neither, or both, embedded in its face.
Contents
Damage
Alternate fire initiates a charge attack, which deals damage on its own, or may be used in conjunction with another weapon.
- Charge damage: 85 melee damage (if shield connects with enemy) + 17 per head (up to 5 heads).
- Mini-crit charge damage: 115 (if shield connects with enemy) + 23 per head (up to 5 heads)
- Both the shield regular and mini-crit damage are affected by weapon damage spread, meaning it is not a constant number.
- Charge speed: 750 Hammer units/sec, or 250%.
- Charge speed: 637.5 Hammer units/sec with Scotsman's Skullcutter equipped, or 213%.
Function times
- Charge Interval: 12 seconds
