Aegion Brightsteel Skills

Sacred Shield:
 Fuses his shield with holy power to hit multiple enemies and push them back several tiles, disrupting the enemy frontline and creating space for your towers to deal damage.

Heavy Shield:
 Spawns a shield projection that blocks an enemy, redirecting damage taken by the shield back to the attacker. This skill is excellent for stalling tough enemies and protecting key lanes.

Airstrike Shield:
 Throws his sacred shield at flying enemies, dealing damage on the way out and back, effectively targeting aerial threats that other tank heroes cannot handle.

Tips and Tricks

  • Frontline Placement: Position Aegion in the frontline to control the enemy vanguard while your ranged or AoE towers deal consistent damage.

  • Combine With Barracks: Use him alongside Barracks units to create near-unbreakable chokepoints.

  • Air Threats: Place him in lanes with frequent flying enemies to maximize the utility of Airstrike Shield.

  • Crowd Control: His Sacred Shield is ideal for pushing back grouped enemies, giving your towers more time to reduce enemy HP.

  • Durability Advantage: Thanks to high HP, Aegion can withstand heavy tower fire, but be mindful of sustained DPS-heavy waves.

Why Use Aegion Brightsteel?

Aegion Brightsteel is perfect for PvP tower defense players who need a durable frontline hero with crowd control. He excels at stalling waves, protecting lanes, and creating opportunities for other towers to shine.

While not designed for high burst damage, his control and endurance make him invaluable in early and mid-game Arenas.
