The Demoman on ramming into people

The Splendid Screen is a shield for the Demoman. It is an iron shield with four thick knobs in the cardinal directions, and a large boss in the middle.

Compared to the Chargin' Targe, the Splendid Screen provides halved fire and explosive resistances. However, its charge ability is much more potent; there is no minimum distance required to deliver damage with a shield bash, and a successful charge bash delivers 70% more damage.

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).
    • The shield damage is affected by weapon damage spread, it is not a constant number.
  • Charge Speed: 750 Hammer units/sec (Approximately 2.5 times faster than 'Base' Speed).
    • Charge Speed: 638 Hammer units/sec with Scotsman's Skullcutter equipped (Approximately 2.1 times faster than 'Base' Speed).

Function times

  • Charge Interval: 12 seconds/6 with the Persian Persuader equipped

Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Bugs

  • As of the June 23rd 2011 patch, a demoman that jumps then immeadiatly charges and then swings his melee weapon will preform a long air dash that depletes nearly nothing of the charge meter. It allows a demoman to reach speeds unreachable even to scouts and is only able to be done on level or sunken surfaces. Whether this is intended or is considered a bug is unknown. This is also attainable through the use of the Chargin' Targe.
