Tower of Fantasy is available since August 11, 2022 and this new gacha game lets you experience a futuristic open-world adventure with an MMORPG aspect. Your goal is therefore not only to explore the different regions, to complete quests but also to summon characters and improve them. On ToF, the summoning system is a bit special and allows you to actually obtain weapons with various rarity levels: N - R - SR - SRR. Attached to these weapons are characters called Simulacrums only for SR and SSR rarities. Today, we are particularly interested in Huma and his weapon Bouclier Fournaise V2 .
Huma: Presentation of the SSR and banner
Huma is part of the game's permanent banner (obtainable with Golden Nuclei) but you also have a low chance of getting it on the very first temporary banner of the game (Nemesis), which lasts from August 11, 2022 (launch of the Thu) as of August 31, 2022.
- Gender : Female
- Height : 167cm
- Birthday date : January 12 (Capricorn)
- Japanese voice : Rie Takahashi (Hu Tao in Genshin Impact)
- English voice : Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Sora in Digimon)
The different skins
If you get Huma's weapon multiple times, then you can increase his star level. At the end of the 3-star level , you get a different skin for the Huma Simulacrum. As a reminder, it is possible to use the weapon without putting on the appearance of Huma.

- Resonance (role): Defense
- Element: Fire
- Fracture: 10.00
- Refill: 10.00
- Basic Attack: 14
- HP: 1165

The effects of the Shield Furnace V2 weapon
- Fire : Fully charged weapons ignite the target for 8 seconds on the next attack, dealing continuous damage for 58.00% ATK every second. Ignited targets gain 50% healing effectiveness.
How is Huma/Bouclier Fournaise V2 played and with whom/what weapon?
Huma (or at least his weapon) is a very good defensive unit that fills the tank role well thanks to its constant CC and damage reduction. Its shield can both take hits but also give them actively thanks to its ax shape.
- Its strengths : you can switch from shield to ax and vice versa using the special skill. This means his normal attack combos will change depending on what mode you are using. Overall, the shield is more defensive while the ax deals higher damage.
- Its weak points : Huma is quite difficult to handle for beginners, although its status as a tank is very useful for multiplayer team play. In solo, you can form a versatile team yourself with King and Meryl for example to get heavy damage, break shields and a little healing.
Progression: how to improve Shield Furnace V2?
The 6 star levels
Each SR and SSR weapon can progress up to a 6-star level. Initially, your weapon will be at 0 stars and you will therefore have to improve it 6 times to reach the maximum level, but this means that you will have to obtain the same weapon 7 times to improve it.
- 1★: Gain a stack of Powerful Shield by casting Discharge: Burning Rage. Using a Dodge or Branching skill while in shield form grants 10% damage reduction for 15 seconds and stacks up to 3 times. Switching to Ax Form converts all Power Shield stacks to Slicing Ax stacks, each of which increases damage dealt by 15% for 15 seconds. Switching to another weapon cancels this effect.
- 2★: Increase base HP growth of current weapon by 16%.
- 3★: While in shield form, deflect/dodge attacks deal bonus damage to targets equal to 4% of the user's current HP.
- 4★: Increases base ATK growth of current weapon by 32%.
- 5★: After switching to axe-shield, you immediately gain 30% damage reduction which decreases by 10% every 3 seconds, down to a minimum of 10%. Changing weapons cancels this effect. Reload: 30 seconds.
- 6★: Improves conversion skills. Shield Enhancement: Increases damage dealt by 60% and extends the radius of the fire area by 30%. Ax Upgrade: For 5 seconds after using this skill, all incoming damage is transformed into HP (up to a maximum of 15% of the user's maximum HP).
The necessary upgrade materials
In addition to improving the stars of your weapon, you can also strengthen it and increase it up to 3 times. Be careful, this costs materials but also Gold and sometimes requires having the right level of adventure. For Shield Furnace V2, you will need the following materials:

Recommended matrices
There are only 4 die slots to put on your weapon. A bit like artifacts, the matrices work in sets: the more pieces of the same set you put, the more the set in question grants bonuses. For Shield Furnace V2, it is recommended to put a Huma 4-piece set on it.
