Umbral Monument: Rampaging Shields - Agony Mode Guide for Arknights: Endfield. It covers the best teams, how to defeat, key strategy, tips, recommended characters, and rewards.
Rampaging Shields (Agony Mode) Best Teams
Laevatain Team
| Attacker | Heat Inflictor | Recover SP | HP Support |
 Laevatain | Wulfgard | Akekuri | Ardelia |
A Heat team centered around Laevatain. Her powerful AoE Ultimate allows her to quickly defeat multiple enemies, making her one of the best attackers for Rampaging Shields.
  Tips! | Since enemies in this stage have high HP, Antal can also be included in this team to dispatch these enemies one by one! |
|---|
Last Rite Team
| Attacker | Cryo Amp | HP Support | HP Support |
| Last Rite | Xaihi | Snowshine | Ardelia |
A Cryo team centered around Last Rite. Viable since the Heavy Ram's charge can be interrupted by Snowshine's Battle Skill. While playing defensively, build up Cryo Infliction stacks and then unleash Last Rite's high-damage Combo Skill.
| Tips! | You could viably include 3 healers in your team for higher HP recovery, so long as you aren't defeated in a single hit. |

Strategy and Tips for Rampaging Shields
Include a Healer
| Recommended Characters with HP Recovery | ||
| Ardelia | Ember | Snowshine |
You cannot bring healing consumables into Agony Mode of Rampaging Shields. Also notable is the gradual increase of the enemy's attack power for the duration of the stage, so be sure to include a healer with HP recovery effects like Ardelia so you can recover HP when you take damage.
Interrupt with Snowshine or Catcher
The Battle Skills possessed by Snowshine and Catcher block an enemy's attack and unleash a counter. They are highly effective since they can interrupt the Heavy Ram's charge, so we recommend bringing them along if you've invested resource into leveling and enhancing them.
| Tips! | Snowshine can inflict Cryo Infliction, and Catcher can lengthen the Vulnerable phase. |
|---|
Focus on Defeating First Heavy Ram
The stage begins with only one Heavy Ram, but a second one will spawn after a short time. Dealing with both Rams simultaneously is difficult, so we recommend focusing on the first Ram and defeating it quickly.
| Tips! | After defeating one enemy, the surviving enemy will receive boosted stats due to the stage's mechanics. This boost includes an increase to attack power, so be very careful not to get hit. |
