We've all been there. One moment, all's well in the world. You've got a silkwing cornerned, and your favorite weapon's ready to tear it a new one. The birds are singing, the crowns are dropping, and everybody's happy. Well, except the silkwing of course.

Next thing you know, there's an alpha wolver right behind you, with that triple-bite pointed straght at your shiny metal posterior. Maybe you were too busy closing on the silkwing to notice it. Maybe it just unburrowed at the worst possible time and place. Maybe a teammate panicked, and shield-bounced it right into you. Maybe there was a spot of lag. Maybe the world just wants to kill you.

You put your trusty owlite shield up. The one that's kept you safe through waves of Red Rover attacks. The one that lights the way in the depths of Firestorm Citadel. It's your best friend. It keeps you warm at night.

It has also no piercing defense, and that Alpha wolver has oh so many pointy teeth....
