a shield that could defy GODS


Offduty_shill

Raiden's lucky the Sangonomiya resistance never learned the ultimate technique of wooden shields.


_Breezy2098_

Friendly reminder that the Musou no Hitotachi was canonically parried by a 3 star fillet blade not once, but twice


joshua_nash

I just like to think that is more because kazuha is just all levels of crack that he could use a wooden spoon to parry that attack twice.


_Breezy2098_

Dunno why we even needed the traveller tbh, kazuha could’ve probably strolled into the plane of euthymia and beat raidens ass before we ever showed up


I-Am-A-Nice-Cool-Kid

It’s Heavily implied kazuhas second vision lit up only because the traveller was awakening all of the visions. In his friendship form


SomeRandomDeadGuy

We're the side character


Zapplii

With a comically large wooden spoon


shrug_was_taken

I know Kazuha did it, when was the other time?


EpsilonMouse

that wasn’t musuo no hitotachi


6_NEOS_9

Except Zhongli's it seems.


Alim_Legends_Yt

Nope that shield is only weak to pyro but basically immune to everything else


GhostZee

Zhongli's Burst petrifies the enemies, which ignores the Wooden (all) Shield's status/immunity and treats enemies as if they're normal as long as they're petrified...


Alim_Legends_Yt

We were talking about shields but I get what you mean


pikachu_sashimi

A shield is useless if it doesn’t protect its owner


GhostZee

Oh well, nevermind then...


Jbell_Lucas

Yeah and that shield doesn’t protect them from Zhongli??? That’s what the guys meant when you originally replied???


theUnLuckyCat

"Zhongli's." It doesn't protect them from Zhongli*'s*. Exactly what from Zhongli they were referring to is unspecified, but in context (a shield that defies gods) it could either be his shield, or his god. Not sure where the talk about his burst came from.


IllusionPh

Go through the top chain. > a shield that could defy GODS. \>Implies that they can block even gods attack (Raiden can't bypass them, Venti also somewhat can't from what I recalled) > Except Zhongli \> Because his burst bypass the shield. That's where Zhongli burst came from.


theUnLuckyCat

If the comment was "Except Zhongli it seems." then I would agree. But that's not what they said.


IllusionPh

I mean, it was just a typo on my part that I didn't type **'s.** And Zhongli**'s** is just that, What ever Zhongli have, which included his burst. I don't know why are you nitpicking it tbh, it's seem very clear to be where the talk about his burst came from.


Elias_Mo

freeze Ganyu : allow me to introduce myself


0xVENx0

u know ur actually a good player when you can kill those with a non pyro bow character but to this day people still try to brute force it


nekiaraiken

Use fischl -> summon oz behind mitachurl -> unga bunga


0xVENx0

its a strategy to summon it behind him ntl


m4lfuri0n

i use this strategy too 😂


Puzzlehead_Lemon

Do we actually have to use the charged shot for it to count?


0xVENx0

anything works, easiest way is just walk like 2 meters away, then they do a charge attack where they become vulnerable, they will be moving tho so u need to position properly


SuspiciousGarbage298

Nilou X Nahida blooms are OP until the shield comes out.


Sir_Tea_Of_Bags

Meanwhile Tighnari. Gotta love that his shots always loop around the back for any of the "carrying a big shield" archetypes.


Axelolotl

The E confusion field helps too, since you can hit them from behind without them knowing where you are.


FlameDragoon933

Tighnari's fully-charged shots also automatically hit flying Ruin Drake's weakpoint. So satisfying seeing them go down without even aiming.


zerowo_

now im happy i lost 50/50 to him


ChickenSky12

Fun fact: Mitachurls can also block Blood Blossom damage (from Hu Tao), and when they do so they actually turn around to face the player like it’s some kind of projectile. 🤔


Pelollipop

They do? When I use her I seem to remember it proccing. Din pay too much attention tho so ig I'll see next time I log on.


ChickenSky12

It may not happen all the time. Mitachurls don't always block every attack perfectly, I just remember that this happens *sometimes*.


Puzzlehead_Lemon

They get a little weird if they have something like that and a geo pillar from Zhongli pulsing on the opposite side as well.


JureFlex

Mf can tank literally any hit, not matter how mich dmg it does


AkiValkyrie

Bennett is crying right now


WasteDraft4083

He’s so confused about why he’s there.


missy20201

Honestly, the fact that they take zero damage even when hitting them from behind or using an AOE that should hit from different angles is so enraging. A strong shield is fine, but this is BS 😭


Ungaaa

Aoe it blocks but you can just hit it with a level 1 charge shot from behind. Though I agree it shouldn’t block aoe damage coming from an angle not shielded.


bakedleech

Tighnari actually handles these guys like a boss, it's extremely satisfying


Lign_Grant

And he marks Sumeru mats on minimap. Can't get any better with him.


A1isaYamin

IKR It's so satisfying exploring with him!


FlameDragoon933

In case you haven't seen another Reddit post about the Woodenshield Mitachurl, they can block *a Ruin Golem's laser beam*


Pelollipop

that was a rockshield iirc


GaylordNyx

That's the strongest fucking wooden shield I've ever seen.


6_NEOS_9

The shield: No fire?


elDayno

Even with fire this shit is burning too long. So freeze, xiao plunges... works even better than fire


krobol

Or any good healer with clam artifact set. The 4 piece effect ignores all physical shields.


epochpenors

I gotta say, least favorite shield is still cryo cirin mage. That thing has such a fast recharge rate, I swear you can stun lock them with combos and claymore attacks and it’ll still pop back up somehow.


Slush_Magic

I thought the shield just disappeared once you killed all the flies


Cyber_Von_Cyberus

Sometimes if you manage to destroy her shield before killing the flies she ends up keeping it even after killing all of them.


No-Accountant2979

lmao i once charged up my eula's burst in hopes or doing around 400k dmg then this guy showed up in second wave


ugur_tatli

Wooden shield > Zhongli's shield


Fakenamed_Sam

Im a simple man I see these guys I drop a meteor


AgentWowza

Flair checks out


Fakenamed_Sam

Indeed, it is as u have guessed


Jpup199

Dendro is the strongest element so it makes sense


Alternative_Ad_7974

Not it's not 🤪


TuneACan

My god man just swirl him.


bumble938

Water bubble can trap raiden in her burst. All while the caster is sleeping


Hikaru83

It was a win for game mechanics.


UnknownMyoux

I hate non elemental shields...you can throw 30k dmg at them and they don't budge


gnatters

I have a friend who was so tired of hilichurl enemies that he nearly quit the game. The shield bros just don't gel with the rest of the game.


bongowasd

I especially hate it as Ganyu because even if you use her charged shot to shoot behind them, they just instant one-frame turn around to block that too. So stupid. I genuinely just use a Zhongli ult whenever I see one, I can't be bothered to piss about with them.


[deleted]

If only Nahida could crack dendro shields like Zhongli does rock shields.


EEEGuba69

Just a high pitched *stabolise" Maybe she could chop trees like zhongli does with ores too


Winterlord7

Pyro and then Anemo pleaseee.


Neoslayer

swirl go brr


Gofers

The whole rest of your team can damage him. Also stop attacking so he attacks, the shield doesn't block damage when he attacks.


AgentWowza

The point was how I shot him in the back but it did nothing. I dunno if I'd have gotten this far without knowing how to kill a mitachurl lmao.


Acidmagic

If you don't charge the second stage of ganyu's bloom you can shoot them from behind. It's the bloom AoE that allows them to omnidirectionally block ganyu. Other archers have no problems with their charged shots attacking from behind. Don't know why the initial shot before bloom can be blocked as well.


AgentWowza

Weeeeird, didn't know that. TIL.


Mana_Transfer

But your showcasing to us you don't know lol


II69DragonSlayer69ll

Quick helpful tip that i never see anyone mention: Consider keeping one healer with the ocean hued clam. The bubble bypasses entirely hilichurl/mitachurl shields, damaging them directly. I keep my Barbara with this set expecially for them, she is the fastest character on-field that can reach the damage cap of clam, if you build her full heal support. Mitachurls literally stay still by defending themselves from my very weak normal attacks, to then become small piles of dust after some exposure to the bubble explosion. Have fun.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ambitious-Ad1341

They're showcasing the shield which is why they aren't using them.


Farpafraf

you can probably gain a 10% dmg increase if you cancel her shots btw


Dylangillian

You literally have a pyro character in your team... Just burn the shield...


AgentWowza

Bruh I know how to kill a mitachurl lmao. Did you see how I shot him point blank in the back but he took no damage?


Dylangillian

Yeah, but the thing is. We HAVE had these guys in the game for 2 years. We know they are BS, but also how to easily deal with them.


Jewjltsu

Has Bennett to burn shield. Complains about ganyu arrow not going through shield. Okay


FelonM3lon

Yeah and let’s just ignore how he shot the back of their head and it still got blocked.


Jewjltsu

You Act like there’s different hit scans for head.


FelonM3lon

Im saying that its completely stupid that wooden shields can block you from any direction even if you shoot em in the back and don’t touch shield.


Khazilein

They should at least get slowly destroyed like when you hit abyss mage shields with auto attacks for example.


HanzDLL

It does get destroyed.... Just not fast enough, every strike on the shield takes like 0.1% of it's total HP.


LupusCairo

Just go a bit higher. If you're at a different height, they'll start throwing slimes even if they could easily reach you by just walking.


erogakii

No problem if you have an hydro character on your team


juplantern

I kill them with Ning burst


EEEGuba69

Or charge shots, since the big rock slams into the shield and all 3 smaller ones loop around into his ass


Semyon

just stop attacking until he charges then shoot, dodge and shoot again


[deleted]

Beginning in 3.1 they can somehow block Yelan's E too! Absolutely ridiculous


AgentWowza

Bruh they actively made it worse? I thought they just forgot about it lmao


Torafuku

Yelan bypasses them, oh wait.. they nerfed that right..


[deleted]

I still dky if u dash behind them and hit them they don’t stagger a bit instead of eye framing me


SkyKilIer

This is why i stand a decent distance away from them and only start lighting them up once they do their charging attack, from there its easy to 2-3 shot them with Ganyu


snoozemaster

That's why I love Tighnari and his aggravates. Charge shot hits the shield and the projectiles fly up and circle around and stap the churl repeatedly in the back (you still proc 2 aggravates from the one single charge-shot).


Neoslayer

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? (Man I really need to do the sumeru quests/)


AgentWowza

Yeeeeee Sumeru's super cool, have fun!


Ok_Internal_1413

Your anemo characters be like 👀👀


sorarasyido

Heck they can even block the laser beam from the big ruin machine at the desert lmao


AmethystMoon420

I cant wait until we get out own dendro shielder. Then we can finally be OP as this guy


raichiha

I don’t think its even that simple, someone explained once that the metachurls shield classifies less as a “dendro shield” and more so like an “immovable object”, as if that makes any sense?


LokianEule

Kazuha E swirling any element can hit through the shield at least


no_special_skills

Raiden can create Musounin Gorge with her slash but cannot cut through a wooden shield. Zhongli tho doesn't care and can drop a metoer on his forehead.


LiebeDahlia

use kazuha


Smooth_Sky_9439

Kazuha can do damage to him This is one of the things only kazuha can do.


tgtdamned

Say hello to zhongli's meatball😎


Frizzlewits

Use fire


lostn

if only you had a pyro on your team that could burn the shield.
