...His hide turned the mightiest tame... – It is a combination of the Maylay, Nova (fire), and Spike (fire) shield types. It also gives an extremely high roid damage boost.
Notes
This shield is well-suited for Gaige's Action Skill, Deathtrap. If the Sharing is Caring skill is enabled the shield adds spike fire damage when Deathtrap is attacked by a melee source. When the shield is depleted, it releases a fire nova blast and augments Deathtrap's melee attacks with great roid damage.
This shield's large nova damage and spike damage make it useful when being overwhelmed by close-range hostiles.
This is also useful for Zer0 due to the melee-oriented nature of his Action Skill, Decepti0n.
This is also a great shield for a Buzz Axe Rampage centered Krieg, since he will usually be at such a close range that enemies still alive will be forced to melee him, lighting them on fire, which, when combined with the Hellborn tree, can cause even more mayhem.
