The Splendid Screen is a community-made 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. 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. 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.
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.

Damage
See also: 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 (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
- 6 seconds with the Persian Persuader equipped
Times are approximate and determined by community testing.
