Rainmaker shield

The Rainmaker Shield is a protective bubble surrounding the Rainmaker. When too close to the Shield, when opposing teammates are standing close to it when it'll explode, the Inkling will get splatted if the shield has exploded.



Data
The Rainmaker Shield has 1000 HP, but many weapon types have a damage multiplier applied when they hit the Shield. The multiplier values are detailed in the tables below. However, Weapons with Roller Mechanics (Examples: Splat Roller, Inkbrush, and the Octobrush) when used for rolling on the Shield won't damage the shield, but when about to use the weapon as a roller, they can still be good weapons to break the shield.

With Damage Up
Unlike against Inklings, weapons do not have a damage cap when hitting the Rainmaker Shield with buffs. This means that can be used to pop the Shield faster than normal. The time gains for each weapon can be seen in the charts below.

With Object Shredder
The ability increases damage output against the Rainmaker Shield by 10%.

Splatted
Touching the Shield repeatedly will make the Inklings health decrease.

Trivia

 * The Rainmaker Shield behaves as a shield in Octo Valley which carries the Zapfish, but it doesn't restore health nor carries a Zapfish.
