Time to get bluttered!
The Demoman

The Splendid Screen is a community-made secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is an iron shield with blood stains,four bosses in the cardinal directions, and a larger boss in the middle.

This item has four different styles. These styles, titled "Classic", "Spike", "Arrow", and "Spike and Arrow", allow the Splendid Screen to bear a spike, an arrow, neither, or both, embedded in its face.

The Splendid Screen's charge ability is more potent than the Chargin' Targe's; there is no minimum distance required to deliver damage with a shield bash, and a successful charge bash delivers 70% more damage. Like the Targe, heads gathered by the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron will increase the damage of the bash, at a maximum of 5 heads. However, the Splendid Screen only offers +20% fire resistance and +15% explosive resistance, instead of the Targe's +50% fire resistance and +40% explosive resistance.

Damage

See also: Damage

Alternate fire initiates a charge attack, which deals damage on its own, or may be used in conjunction with another weapon.

  • Charge Damage: 85 (if shield connects with enemy) + 17 per head (up to 5 heads).
    • The shield damage is affected by weapon damage spread, it is not a constant number.
  • Charge Speed: 750 Hammer units/sec (approximately 2.5 times faster than 'base' Speed).
    • Charge Speed: 637.5 Hammer units/sec with Scotsman's Skullcutter equipped (approximately 2.1 times faster than 'base' Speed).

Function times

  • Charge Interval: 12 seconds

Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

The Splendid Screen's appearance can differ through the use of styles. This, however, has no bearing on the kill icon. The style shows up in both the world and client view.
