Stat Impact

What Weapon Shielding actually gives you

Weapon Shielding delivers 2.5 out of combat regen, 250 damage threshold, and 4.0s time frame. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Weapon Shielding

Weapon Shielding performs strongest on Wraith (44.6% WR across 3,189 games), The Doorman (44.2% WR across 3,285 games), and Paige (44.2% WR across 7,829 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.
