Battle system involves cheating, losing, or fortune favored. Most people competing spoof the battle system to have more shields than the game provides. You have to get lucky enough to battle someone NOT cheating, or lose to the very obvious cheaters. (No player is provided 2+ shields, until you see them block 4-5 of your attacks & win the battle) Very buggy. Legal adverts on cash invested.... I do NOT suggest investing time or funds into this application.
