Price/Power (0/5)
Does not even offer its full 6 icons? Also is a rather expensive retired item? *sigh.

Countermeasures (0/5)
Look, now that most weapons use upwards of 12 icons even at the lower levels of combat this item really would not be worth your time.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
At least get a Solar Flare Shield if you need a shield similar to this.

Other Points

Final Thoughts
I do rather like sponsor items- but this one just doesn't do it for me.

Price/power (0/5): For the price of this, you can get a Leaf Shield or a Shiny Shoal Shell Shield. The latter is a direct upgrade. Both are significantly cheaper.

Tactical (0/5): You won't be fully blocking anything with this shield, and since water icons aren't particularly common these days, this shield won't even reach its maximum potential every turn.

Bonus (1/1): At least real money doesn't get you superior weapons.

Closing remarks: Get a Shiny Shoal Shell Shield or even a Virtupets X-514 Super Shield. The latter is extremely cheap at the time of writing.
