If im winning and want the stake to be 'over and done with' i tend to use the defender over the shield, because i hit more often with the defender ( but I have less armour def - so i only use it when im winning), But if its 50/50 I use obby shield and just let my high attack and def save me, : Hope this helped :thumbsup: Okay thanks!! : , I might be up to your standards soon - so get ready for a massacre \ hehe
