Great class, fits in perfectly with the game and the abilities are really helpful for early game exploration!

Canon name?

great healer

Hi. The character works fine mechanically. I am getting a bug where none of her actions have sound. Anyone else see this?

@Moth, what is your deal? This is the second time in about as many days, I've seen you crapping all over a mod creator's hard work. How about you try making a mod, make it public and let's see what garbage you shill out.

Used to like the class, but then realized she is just not fun. Yes, her numbers are over the top (protection self stresshealing and healing). But all self debuffs, inability to jump from position 4, and awkward damage buff from rush that forces you to set her exactly at pos3 is just not ideal.

6\10 due to the lack of character charisma and fun mechanics. Boring tin can.

One odd thing is a localization issue wherein a voice-line for turning paranoid was just the markup language instead of an actual line. Is this a known issue or perhaps something I can fix on my end, or maybe some sort of incompatibility on my end?

Still bugged: Avenger applies Marked status for "1 turn" but immediately goes away when her turn ends, so not having the desired effect. I have all extra content except Shieldbreaker & Musketeer. How do I edit to change this myself, & what files?

Thanks for the playing tips. Very helpful. ;)

never mind, she showed up.It took her like 32 weeks i think to show up.

she never shows up. You cant recruit her.

Whats bug about it?

is this gonna get fixed? i actually liked the char...

Is this still bugged?

sads that this is bugged

She doesn't work at all. Can't even change positions (other than moving forward). She cannot use any moves whatsoever. Really annoyed with this bug.

She might need a few buffs, she often has too many downsides compared to man at arms but overall she's a nice character.

OH and she cant guard the BACK rank 4 at all it seems.....really just use a Man at Arms at this rate, or a Dragonslayer for tanking, so much better to use them.

does she have Class related trinkets as well ? I havent seen any now that I think about it.

and this could replace teh Front Guard ability that happens to be redundant to her kit anyways.

Just give her ONE skill with the BACK property would be a god send. Like one that Heals her, and guards an ally, but moves her back one.....like a Flanking Protective move (to fit her protective theme) Call it "Flank Guard" Or "Backline Guard" or such.

but her other abilities that done even have a niche role to fill.
Mending touch, too limited, too restrictive, for a limited per battle use and position 4 only, OH and it only can target Position 3 and 2 friendlies.......yeah......rather never "Touch" this ability XD

Avenger does so little damage, then kicks your damage potential in the balls and leaves them for dead. Why bother using it? Riposte...at -60% base damage? with a -50% prot debuff? Then also nerfs her Dodge?
Too much cost for too little. I will bring a Man at arms for a Riposte Guarding class.

Front Guard, a redundant guard ability on her (she has an ok one already) that....self heals her.....indomitable does that better already.... but then Front Guard debuffs your damage.......wait why use this when the Prot buff is worse then Guardian?
It feels like a under useful effect on a guard speciality class.....

I just feel like she is like a cross between a Leper and a Man At Arms class type.

I keep trying with her, so many different team types, and I just cant find a fit, in most situations where I could use Avenger it just feels like a bad idea, its basicly just a low damage enemy finisher, that happens to activate Riposte which isnt usually that good anyways due to the low damage output while Gutting out Her PROT benefits at the same time.

The only skills I found worth having where
Cross Blade (a nice base attack style for a center point for her class)
Ram shield (basicly a Man at arms Rampart with a Lepers Purge ability but on steriods.)
Guardian (basicly a anti Deaths Door Guard due to the heal, its a nice idea)
and
Indomitable (Solemnity from the leper but with so much added in drugs she gets a high boost to her stats)

Sorry to say this but, I find that she doesnt do a good enough job.
She suffles around to much, needs to be in Pos 4 to do any good healing which is limited to 2 times per battle anyways....

I have tried to like her, and i love guard abilities. However, I just feel like she is never where she needs to be. Either up front guarding as frontline tank, or back line support, but her back line is too limiting.
POS 4 Mending touch ability is too restrictive or limited.
Overall I was having trouble trying to enjoy her class.
I was really wishing to find a way to KEEP her in PLACE.
I love suffle parties, but she just didnt fit in with those either.

Can we get a Brigette Lindholm Skin for this from Overwatch :)? How cool would that be.

The Problem is that class mod doesn't have special items can only wear it for that class even items of Crimson Court & Color of Madness.

Hi. Can you increase the duration of your self-mark abilities on all your classes using this mechanics? After CoM update it has lost the point to count on it. It's still useful if your tanks have speed over 9000. But wtf, who need a glass tank?!

@Hydra, Try checking out the 'effects' folder.

is it possible to change the duration of Front Guard & Avenger?
I have looked in shield_maiden.info , base.effects & base.buffs.json and tried to modify the duration but none of them work.

Hi. After CoM update the Maiden's ability Avenger makes self mark for 0 turns. Can you fix it?

***
Updated for the CoM patch, v23886. Might still have issues, since I only tested it briefly. Not sure how it would work with the CoM DLC (since I have not got my copy yet).
Added some small stats balance update for the Critmas, as well as added some destealth skills. Also would see lots red notes if have the error log open, but don’t seem to be game-crushing, so just ignore. Feed back welcome.

this char is so garbo, why would you make his skills like -50% damage -60% defense - 100000% dodge?

ok it crushes only with house of piggies mod enabled

i keep crushing using shield maiden in warren maps :( anyone can confirm?

There are some errors in the typos for some skills... Are you planning to fix them?

I can translate it into spanish, if you like.
Would need a txt file only.

@Ninnetyer: yes.. sorry, it is not compatible with some lanagues.

Hi, any clue on this bug or error? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/ninnetyer/screenshot/938306198314372287

Is it possible to get this as a skin for Man-at-Arms?

Yo my boy, did you fix her dialogue yet?

Yes, I know of the errors. They are just syntx error, and not game breaking.

@ActionJack
I got the same errors as Pensei que ela tinha 18 and I've got a clean install

I got this errors: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1193187223

Every name from this mode looks like code [<hero_class_name_...>], [<combat_skill_...>] in non-english versoin of DD

At least one of the Afflicted states is missing its text (or the way it references the text is wrong... Or something), got a teal error message in place of the text for her going Irrational.

Front Guard has the exact same effect at all levels for some reason.

Enjoying the class! Just a minor thing, her Tier 3 gear are currently named "Sharpen Blade" and
"Shinning Armor".
The correct spelling would be "Sharpened Blade" and "Shining Armour".
Just a nitpick from a language-nerd, mega-well done on the class otherwise!

I just gotta say, everytime she uses wound care while camping she gives free publicity for your mod :3

Hmmm....after looking through the game, it seems like the bone soldier's scale armor would fit the closest to the Viking aesthetic. Anyway, I wonder if more of her abilities shouldn't invoke Riposte. I noticed that Shield Ram should be more like Shield Bash (since we're talking Viking era combat) and that it seems to miss if you're not in Rank 2 or further back....

Interesting class. Is there anyone who is an artist who can give her a more Viking feel with (sic) "chain"-maille (since she is wearing plate armor that is about 4 centuries after the Viking era)? Maybe slim down the model a bit (ie - make her look more like Eowyn from The Lord of the Rings)?
