Sigmund the Highshield

Sigmund the Highshield enters the fray as part of October 2021’s Fusion Event. He will join the Banner Lords as Legendary Defensive champ aimed at providing control and strength to your team.

His kit revolves around his A2 where he will be able to Provoke enemies at a high reliability (although not guarenteed) and place Decrease Attack debuff. These are valuable in Doom Tower (where his aura provides a significant amount of defense) and also for arena as a control champion. His a3 also provides a shield and strengthen buff to help protect you against incoming damage. His passive is not unlike Harvest Jack and could become incredibly annoying to face with any attack potentially removing your buffs. It is a low percentage chance at 20% but upgraded for bosses.

All in all this Sergeant of the Guard looks like a solid addition to the game but this event will be a Fragment And Fusion combo (similar to the Brogni Fusion Event) which is incredibly time consuming so you need to decide early if you plan to go for him

This guide will be updated when a full playtest is completed!
