The problem I have with this is that the shield passive from Fimbel turns on when I hook somebody, when I don’t need a shield.
There feels like there’s no synergy and I have no real control to when I want the shield to come up.
Your right the shield is a little less valuable for Blitz here, it'll still come into play in team fights but ya the shield is really the least valuable part for him.
He makes good use of the health, and the Mana means he can use abilities more. But he is also converting mana into his shielding with his passive, and ability haste so he can be even more if a CC bot. The Fimbul shield is really icying on the cake for him.
