Mirror Shield
The Mirror Shield is a melee weapon from Misc. It is not used by any unit and is found only in the Unit Creator.
Characteristics
The Mirror Shield is a large handheld mirror that is used as a shield. Instead if blocking projectiles, the shield reflects it back to its shooter. Almost every projectiles, including Ballista Bolts and Tank Rounds can be reflected. The exceptions are large, round projectiles such as Catapult Rocks and Cannonballs
As an extreme setback, The Mirror Shield will shatter after reflecting once, where it will become practically useless as it loses its physical properties. As such, despite it still being visually intact, it has no collision and any projectiles and melee attacks will pass right through. Still, the shield is capable of reflecting multiple projectiles if they hit all at once, making volley fire against this shield ill-advised.
Units using the Mirror Shield will approach their opponents with it, where they will bash them with the shield when close. The shield however regularly does not inflict any damage, and is completely harmless when it is "shattered". Still, despite its innocuous properties, units will still try to attack with it. It also has a slightly shorter cooldown than most melee weapons... though this will not help much at all.
