Build
The shield-loop bruiser. The cast-shield is the multiplier: 25 (+5% Total HP) on EVERY skill cast - with Guardian Helmet's 1800 HP the loop puts out toward 115 per cast on a 7s Slam rhythm: the tank that never stops having a shield up. Guardian Helmet: 2.5% max-HP regen after 5s out of combat plus conversion of 500-plus single hits - the fountain between rotations (no Oracle: his sustain is self-generated shields and regen, and received-only amps never touch either). Thunder Belt: slow-proc mark-basics plus the permanent defense bank. Dominance Ice (40/40): up-to-40 hybrid defense in the pileup plus the heal-cut aura on the brawlers he face-tanks. Quantum Charge: his mark-basics restore 75-180 HP plus 30% MS on heroes - heal-per-basic stacked on shield-per-cast. Tenacity: +5% damage reduction below half HP - the spin-diver lives in that band. Tough Boots: 25% CC and slow reduction (Spin already ignores slows). Immortality: the second spin. 6th slot Cursed Helmet: the HP pool (shield/slam/mark scale) plus the burn ring - the panda burns while he pushes.

Counter Builds
Vs Akai: his cast-shields (25 + 5% Total HP) and mark-basics (35 + 6%) scale with MAX HP - poke him down before Spin (55s); percent-HP damage (Impure Rage, DHS) bypasses the shield math. Heavy Spin cleanses debuffs and spins 4s (Suppression-only interrupt): save Suppression for the spin, kite everything else - and note Headbutt works mid-spin for steering. His Headbutt (11s) knocks airborne 0.5s plus a reposition roll: respect the re-roll, not a wall. He is 55/78/66 - the mid shield-bruiser; Alice-type drain-mages are his wall, lockdown-dependent duelists (Silvanna-style circles) are his food - the cleanse-plus-displacement breaks the setup.
