The game

One board. Everything at stake.

Every raid is a match-3 duel against another player's titan. Every swipe feeds your attack — and the fewer turns you need, the more you take home.

Smash & battle

An 8×7 board and a live enemy that hits back every single turn. Match 4 to hit harder, match 5 harder still, and chain cascades for more again. Every fight sets its own turn target — beat it for three stars.

Collect 20 titans

Five elements, four rarities, one titan for every pairing. Boxes pay blueprints; when a titan's bar fills you press UNLOCK yourself. Every titan climbs to level 100 — there is no evolve wall in the way.

Build a skill loadout

Skills belong to you, not to a titan. Carry one attack, one defence, one support and an ultimate, drawn from seven families — Strike, Venom, Guard, Mend, Leech, Crush and Berserk. Seven are claimable today; the rest of the 42-card collection arrives through events.

Raid rival players

Battle real players' titans and take coins and crystals straight out of their stash. Climb eleven leagues from Bronze to Legend — each one pays more for every raid you win. Lost a defence? Take revenge.

New mode

Boss Rush

Every five to nine raids, PLAY NOW hands you a boss instead of an opponent.

  • Forty seconds, no turns. The boss never hits back, so it cannot be lost
  • Everything you land fills a loot bonus up to +300%
  • The meter measures against your own attack, so levelling up does not hand you the bonus — playing better does
  • It pays rank stars and a guaranteed titan box, and it is the only fight in the game that pays stars at all
  • Three bosses — Emberkhan, Deepmaw and Gravebloom. Bring the element that counters them

The titans

Five elements. Twenty monsters.

The elements run in a wheel — each one beats exactly one other for +20% damage, and each one gives your ultimate a different sting.

Earth titan

Toxic titan

Rarities: Normal · Rare · Unique · Mythic — each step up is a clear, predictable increase in attack, armour and health — a Mythic is about half again a Normal of the same level.

Your base pays for everything

Raiding is how you take — the base is how you rank up. Buildings and crafts are where nearly every rank star comes from, and rank is what decides how much a raid win is worth. Five buildings, each with a job:

  • The Citadel gates the other four and hides your wealth from raiders
  • The Titan Forge crafts the battle items you carry into a raid
  • The Crystal Refinery guards your wallet and sharpens what you plunder
  • The Bastion and the DNA Lab arm the titan that defends you while you are away

Nothing here generates on its own. A building levels when you feed it crafts, and crafts are paid for with crystals you won in a raid.

The island base

Fair, and in writing

Shield & Shred is free to play, with no ads. The only things that cost real money are the optional Gem and Coin packs in the shop. Titan Boxes still drop free from raids, daily missions and Boss Rush, and when you buy one with gems, the odds for every size are one tap away. How a box decides what to pay you is written out plainly on the guides page, taken from the game itself rather than estimated.

Questions

FAQ

Where can I get it?
On Google Play, right now. Shield & Shred is out of testing and available to everyone, in 177 countries and regions — no invite, no waiting list.
Is it free? Are there ads?
Yes — it is free to play, and there are no ads. The shop sells optional Gem and Coin packs for real money, and gems can also be earned in the game from daily missions and milestones. Titan Boxes can be bought with gems, but they also drop free from raids, daily missions and Boss Rush — and the odds for every box the shop sells are one tap away, on the i beside TITAN BOXES. How a box decides what to pay you is explained on the guides page.
What phones does it run on?
Android 7.1 and up. An iPhone version on the App Store is planned for the future — Android goes first.
Do I need to be online?
Yes. Raids, your wallet and your progress are settled on our servers, so the game needs a connection to play. If it cannot reach us you will see a clear notice rather than a broken game, and a battle pauses instead of letting an enemy hit you while you stare at it.
What is actually inside a Titan Box?
Cards, never a titan outright. A box pays DNA for things you already own and blueprints toward things you do not — and you press UNLOCK yourself when a blueprint bar fills. How the game picks what to pay is explained on the guides page.
Do I lose progress if I switch phones?
No. Your progress is saved to the cloud automatically from the first launch. To carry it to a new phone, open Settings → Google Account → Connect and link your Google Play Games account, then sign in with the same account on the new device.
I played the closed test — why did my account reset?
Everything about the economy changed between builds, so every account was given one clean start rather than a half-converted one. If your account existed before 1 September 2026 there is a letter waiting in the bell with 30,000 coins, 10,000 crystals, a Titan Box x10 and the DAY ONE title — a title nobody who joins later can earn. Full detail in the release notes.
How do I report a bug or get help?
Email support@media-mc.com. Include the build number from the bottom of the game's Settings screen if you can — it tells us exactly which version you are on.
