I don't know if this has already come up in another forum post somewhere, but having the Green Ward shield stop at a 1* seems kind of pointless. I mean, if players get this awesome shield for buying (or being gifted) a starter pack shouldn't it be something they can upgrade with their character rather than something that is only good until they can find something better?

This seemed especially understandable to me since, even though I haven't bought a starter pack yet (money is kind of tight for me right now) I am quite fond of the look and stats of the Green Ward, but my character has a 3* shield already, making a 1* shield fairly useless for my character if it can't be upgraded.
