Sadly i can't recommend getting this dlc. Shieldbreaker is an extremly situational character second maybe to the Antiquarian. She suffers from low health which is bad for characters that work best in front ranks and simmilar problems that characters like Leper or Crusader have (for the most part being able only to hit first 2 enemy ranks), but in a trade Crusader has a stress heal and Leper has high damage while Shieldbreaker has a protection Piercing and guard breaking. Those abilities are heavily situational and aren't useful since guards can be broken with stuns and protection can be offset by high damage. That's another issue with this class, 5 out of her 6 offensive skills have some sort of negative damage modifier. All except 1 of her abillities have dancing mechanics (forward 1, back 1) so now you have too carefuly pick a team that can adapt and i haven't even mentioned the forced camp ambush mechanic. Hellion is pretty much better, can hit every rank without weird gimmicks. I'm not saying that shieldbreaker is un-usable. She's a bit usuful in Ruins or for specific bosses like Brigand Pounder. It's definitely a fun character and you can get away with using her on Apprentice or Veteran but anything above that is just shooting yourself in the foot.
