The '''Splendid Screen''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#demomansecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Demoman]]. It is a battered iron shield spattered with blood, with four bosses in the cardinal directions and a larger boss in the middle.
  
Like the [[Chargin' Targe]], the Splendid Screen allows the Demoman to perform a [[Charging]] maneuver for 1.5 seconds (or 2.3 if equipped with the [[Claidheamh Mòr]]), with benefits including a temporary boost of speed (fixed in a mostly straight line), shield bash and melee damage boosts which scale by distance, and the immediate removal of [[afterburn]], [[bleeding]], [[Mad Milk]] and [[Jarate]]. However, the Splendid Screen's charge ability is more potent than the Chargin' Targe's; a successful charge bash delivers 70% more damage, and its charge meter refills 50% faster, requiring only 8 seconds before the user can charge again. Heads gathered by the [[Eyelander]], [[Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker]] or [[Nessie's Nine Iron]] will increase the damage of the bash, at a maximum of 5 heads; however, the Splendid Screen gains 8.5 damage for every head gained, instead of 5 damage per head like the Chargin' Targe.

Like the [[Chargin' Targe]], the Splendid Screen allows the Demoman to perform a [[Charging]] maneuver for 1.75 seconds (or 2.25 seconds if equipped with the [[Claidheamh Mòr]]), with benefits including a temporary boost of speed (fixed in a mostly straight line), shield bash and melee damage boosts which scale by distance, and the immediate removal of [[afterburn]], [[bleeding]], [[Mad Milk]] and [[Jarate]].

As a downside, the Splendid Screen only offers both +20% fire and explosive resistance, compared to the Targe's +50% fire resistance and +30% explosive resistance.

This item has four different [[styles]]. These styles, titled "Classic", "Spike", "Arrow", and "Spike and Arrow", allow the Splendid Screen to bear a spike, an arrow, neither, or both, embedded in its face.

Time to get bluttered!
The Demoman on stronger shield bashes

The Splendid Screen is a community-created secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is a battered iron shield spattered with blood, with four bosses in the cardinal directions and a larger boss in the middle.

Like the Chargin' Targe, the Splendid Screen allows the Demoman to perform a Charging maneuver for 1.75 seconds (or 2.25 seconds if equipped with the Claidheamh Mòr), with benefits including a temporary boost of speed (fixed in a mostly straight line), shield bash and melee damage boosts which scale by distance, and the immediate removal of afterburn, bleeding, Mad Milk and Jarate. However, the Splendid Screen's charge ability is more potent than the Chargin' Targe's; a successful charge bash delivers 70% more damage, and its charge meter refills 50% faster, requiring only 8 seconds before the user can charge again. Heads gathered by the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron increase the damage of the bash, at a maximum of 5 heads; however, the Splendid Screen gains 8.5 damage for every head gained (dealing 128 damage with 5 heads), instead of 5 damage per head like the Chargin' Targe (dealing 75 damage with 5 heads).

As a downside, the Splendid Screen only offers both +20% fire and explosive resistance, compared to the Targe's +50% fire resistance and +30% explosive resistance.

This item has four styles, named "Classic", "Spike", "Arrow", and "Spike And Arrow", which allow the Splendid Screen to bear a spike, an arrow, neither, or both, embedded in its face.

The Splendid Screen's appearance can differ through the use of styles. This, however, has no bearing on the kill icon. The style shows up in both the world and client view.
