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)
Huma is an introverted and rather silent girl, but the latter possesses superhuman strength which is due to a rare disease. Also, when she thinks about something, the aura she possesses becomes powerful.

Furnace Shield V2

Currently, the only way to obtain the Furnace Shield V2, Huma's SSR weapon, is to summon on the permanent or temporary banner. Some World Bosses give you a chance to loot the weapon: Robarg, Apophis, Cryobot, Lucia and Sobek.

Good to know : a launch event currently allows you to obtain the SSR of your choice for free.

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).
