This is an interesting new weapon, and could probably be best described as a shield with a bite to it. The four icon attack is modest, and the defense is interesting, but not overly powerful. The sum of the parts however, is a bit more however. Under ideal conditions, this attacks with four icons and defends 9.6 for a total possible icon utility of 13.6. This isn't awful, and the fact that the attack icons always come into play is an advantage over a pure shield. Fortunately many of the primary air attackers also attack with physical (Pirate Captains Cutlass and Wand of Reality as examples) so it has some value, but unfortunately, unless your pet has a defensive advantage, there isn't enough firepower to beat such weapons, just to lessen their effects. Overall, it'd view it as a bit of an improvement on either Sophies Magic Hat or Patched Magic Hat, but for most fighters, a bit below the Winged Scarab. At the moment, the biggest drawback to having and equipping one of these is the price, which currently is too high. If you can find it in the future for about the same price as a nine-icon attacker, it's worthwhile, until then, interesting, but too expensive for what it does.
