I have more Blast Shield medals than any other super medal.
Titan Defender 5evar

Honestly, just run Defender a lot and use gear that maxes out your Intellect and use Untouchable so that you'll have a super as often as possible. Getting Blast Shield is pretty easy if you play your Defender more aggressively than you might think is natural. Block avenues of approach, hold the objective, place it on top of heavy ammo spawns just before the ammo drops in. People will throw grenades, or fire rockets, or even hurl supers at you, and so long as your bubble JUST went up when their attacks impact you'll get the medal. That's the basics, just use your bubble a lot.

Because i use my bubble very passively, placing it in advantageous areas, such as mid range with blessing, long range with weapons and a 1k stare [spoiler]lol[/spoiler] and armor of light with a shotgun on maps such as sector 618. But to see that medal popping up mean i gotta play a bit more aggressive and basically use it as a "oh shit im dying" shield, then i will do just that

Your stats prove that you're a solid and dangerous Titan, so you certainly don't need any tips or tricks from me, we've just got different play styles. I like to use my bubble like a spider's web with Helm of Saint-14, Armor of Light, and a shotgun. Enemies more often than not refuse to just ignore a Titan in his bubble, which is especially useful in an objective match where they're too busy trying to deal with you instead of capturing points or focusing on your teammates. Blocking doorways near the enemy spawn is a favorite of mine. They can only approach you from the front or back, which makes it easier to shotgun them when they try to pass through, and closing off the path lets your teammates focus on the other exits for easy funnel kills. My Saint-14 allows me to leave the bubble when I need to, too. Enemies run right through empty bubbles, thinking they don't have to worry about it, but once they go blind they'll usually panic and make themselves easy pickings. That's just some stuff I do.

Hey thanks for the compliment, i appreciate that. By the looks of your stats i would say you are a formidable enemy and ally. But when i have the weapons bubble, i too use helm of saint 14, because i get absolutely no damage resistance from it, when i use that tactic, i usually place it in a hallway or doorway as you do, and dipping in to refresh the weapons buff. But yeah, i usually dont play as a defender much in the crucible [spoiler]i always loved the striker subclass for that, well until HoS came out[/spoiler] i play pretty passive with my shooting and such, but ill push up with a teammates or my grenade if dealing enough damage for cleaning up enemies.

You get a blast shield medal if you block damage when in red health right? Or just stop an instant kill thing like a super or a rocket? Cause ive gotten some while hurt and being shot with something like an auto rifle or a scout

Ok because ive had it where i pop a bubble as soon as my shield broke and when i did, they stopped firing their gun, and i still got the medal. And it wasn't completely near the bottem, like it was as soon as my shield broke
