Shield protecting you and your allies from the enemy fire. What can be better in a teamfight? Save me from a weapon, a cheater, and 3CatSpam.

—Weapon's description in Gallery

The Sly Wolf is a Special weapon introduced in the 16.6.0 update. It is currently only obtainable through micro-transactions, the Gallery and through a Event Set along with Brave Lion and Proud Eagle.

Description[]

It is a white and golden shield that shoots out an energy shield that protects the user from the front. It has a slow fire rate, a very good capacity, and slow mobility. It is 1-2 shots when fully charged. It has charge shot, shield, and dash.

Appearance[]

It is a white shield with diamond and gold accents, along with a golden wolf head with light blue and orange designs on the center. It also has red color to represent the interior of the wolf's ear. The shield that it creates is a barrier of cyan-colored hexagons similar to the Energy Shield.

Performance[]

When the attack button is held down, the shield will expand as it summons an energy shield that will protect the user from projectiles. When the attack button is let go, the user will dash at the direction of the cross-hair, damaging enemies it touches. The gauge in the middle of the screen when holding down the attack button will determine how powerful the dash attack will be, with a fully charged attack dealing the most damage. When the weapon is out of ammo, the shield will disappear and there will be red particles showing that the shield is broken.

This weapon is the single-shot system so it doesn't need to reload.

It has Fixed Delay. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Sly Wolf will always have a pull-up delay lasting around half of a second.

Every time the shield gets hit by any weapon the shield ammunition goes down, meaning it is possible to break the shield with enough hits. although this would be mostly ineffective because of loss of your ammunition.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • When this is used by an ally or yourself, one of you should have a Healing Staff to heal the player while staying back behind the shield. This method could be very effective during Clan Raids.
  • It‘s a 1-2 shot kill when fully charged.
  • Use this with teammates to protect them from incoming damage.
  • Switch to high mobility since this weapon does not have mobility optimal enough for fleeing purposes, or spam the fire bottom to dash away.
    • Note that it does not hold an infinite amount of capacity, so do not be comfortable to the idea that you can use the shield mode without having to reload. The capacity will be drained when blocking incoming damage and can run out, exposing you from damage.
      • This is even worse if an enemy with a more powerful weapon hits your shield.
  • Use the dash ability for surprise attacks.
  • Bring this weapon in Raids, as it will accelerate your movement speed and block incoming attacks, shortening the match significantly.
  • This weapon is extremely useful for Siege since you can protect yourself and stay on the ram, giving an advantage for your team.
  • Use this when you are low on health and armor.
  • Equip this in the Magic Brawl to deflect ranged attacks.
  • You can deploy the shield and stay in a corner. After that, when enemy gets close, finish the enemy off with a strong weapon.
  • Despite Sly Wolf blocking even wall-breaking shots, some weapons can bypass and kill the user through the shield, making it mostly useless against any people who have and use these weapons. These weapons include: Piercer, Armor-Piercing Sniper Rifle, Whip with Cake, Combat Yo-Yo, Tesla Cannon, Ferocious Poleaxe, and Lance Soul Card.

Counters[]

  • Move quickly with an 85 mobility weapon through the Sly Wolf's barrier then fire with a shotgun such as Ultimatum or Acid Shotgun. Although, this method is very risky and can get you killed.
  • Use a weapon with the "Slows Down Target" trait in case its users are in-dash mode. This makes them an easy target for concentrated fire.
  • Another technique is to use a weapon that has a good rocket jump, rocket jump above them. Surprised, they will tilt the shield up towards you. Fall through the shield, and while you are below it, throw ninja stars. They might see it coming and dash away, if that is the case, slam them from behind with a shotgun.
  • Fire explosives towards its users' surrounding side, so he will be hit.
  • Stay airborne or get on a wall so there will be less chance its users will hit you.
  • Fire contact detonator projectiles on the ground, especially in hallways, since users trying to charge towards you will detonate the mines, receive damage, and even kill themselves.
  • If all else fails, use a high-efficiency weapon such as rocket launchers, and aim directly at the Sly Wolf user. Make sure you are face-to-face with them. Because the Sly Wolf user will not be able to change their moving direction while charging, when they charge at you, your crosshair should be still on the Sly Wolf user. Shoot them while they are dashing.
  • Look for the gaps e.g. between the shield and the ground to trap the user.

Trivia[]

  • It is one of the handful of weapons that involves defense, rather than just offense.
  • This is the first weapon to feature the Dash attribute.
  • It is also the first weapon to feature the Shield attribute.
  • It is an only shield-based weapon that can block several wall-break projectiles.
  • This weapon has the biggest capacity of all the weapons at 250, beating the Cyber Laser by nearly twice as much.
  • This may be a reference to Reinhardt's shield from Overwatch.
  • Prior to update 17.5.1 it could be used to glide in multiplayer modes, a hidden strategy that involved constantly dashing to travel horizontally through the air.
  • Before the 17.7.0 update, the weapon's ammo easily depleted with the Dragon Energy Emitter glitch, using Necklace of the Ice King. It depleted 14 of the ammo every 0.5 seconds, which gave it a very bad downside for the weapon to get instantly killed.
  • It has one of the lowest headshot multipliers in the game, only being 31%.
