Marth Tech: Heartshield

Description / How To Perform

Heartshielding essentially functions as Powershield storage. For non-projectile attacks it can be activated by performing a frame 1 Powershield on an attack that would deal less than 3% damage. This is the same for projectile attacks with the stipulation that you also must have the hitbox collide with your "powershield sphere" but not your "reflect powershield sphere". The reflect sphere is smaller, and is what makes reflecting projectiles with powershield more difficult to time correctly than powershielding a non-projectile. Regardless, for as long as you hold your shield with a heartshield activated you will automatically powershield the next attack that connects with it.

Difficulty:    (Master)
