Shield Maiden is one of the three starter Heroes that you can pick when starting the game. Compared to the other two, Shield Maiden has the highest HP and is focused on tanking. With enough energy from attacking and taking hits, she gets to use her super to gain a barrier that reduces and reflects all damage taken.
Reduces all damage taken by 1 for 5 seconds and reflects 1 damage back to all attackers. Shield Maiden can't move or attack during this duration and will not gain any energy while it's up.
Attracts all enemies to attack the Shield Maiden for 2 seconds.

Since the Shield Maiden is mostly about tanking, you'll need a reliable damage dealing unit. Dart Goblin is a really good damage source, while the Archer is another good option to deal with the enemy's backline. Even though the Shield Maiden has enough HP to tank through damage until she gets her super, it's still recommended to bring some other tanks to help take some pressure off.
Against the Shield Maiden, it's not recommended to use more melee units to swarm her, or use units with high attack speed since it can help her get her super faster. Instead, either bring units that can deal high damage or have ways to deal with her shield.
