This weapon will only be rated for Regular 1P/2P use, since it doesn't have any niche or league use. Also, since all Altador Cup Shields are basically the same they will all share the same review.

Price (0/3): This was an altador cup prize, and as soon they have a finite number. That said, the number isn't low enough to make this terribly expensive, but considering its utility it's worth way more than it should be.
Power (0/5): 8 icons is already pathetic for starters. Nowadays you can get 13-14 icon weapons easily, so in most cases it'd be better to attack than to defend with this shield. The fact that it defends multiple icons would be good in most cases, but considering that this splits the already low amount of total defensive icons it just ends up making the shield worse overall. If this shield defended for 12 icons split into 3 groups of 4 icons it'd be much, much better.
Uniqueness (0/2): Mediocre shields are extremely common, to the point that this won't be useful for anyone. The best shield options are hidden tower ones like Hubrid Nox Memorial Shield and Faerie Tabard. For specific blocking then Shield of Faerieland, Pirate Captains Hat, Hanso Charisma Charm and Parasol of Unfortunate Demise are the best. Of course. There's great shields that are relatively cheap and protect for a decent amount, but this is an example, showing that you either want a big amount of icons per icon type, or you want specific full blockers, or, of course, shields with additional effects, but on most cases you want those for the effects instead of the protection.

Overall It's... kinda disappointing. The fact that they can be worth is neat, and gives it at least some use, but as battledome weapons/shields they're nothing special. Because of that its final rating is 0/10. I can't give a rating of 0 however, so it gets a shameful 1 instead.
