Should there be a Balance shield?

There is a 80% shield for every school... Except Balance. I was thinking that there should be one for Balance. But then again, maybe not. Because if Balance is REALLY balanced, then nothing should be able to block it.
I'd love to hear what you think!

if KI decided to add an 80% shield for balance i would also expect them to add a convert for balance damage and release balance damage specific blades because although there is no shield for balance damage their are also the fewest boost available to the school and no way to convert around resist or shields

The point of balance is that there is no weakness, no boost, all perfect balance. However, there are shields (like tower shield) that block against all spells, including balance spells. If you want a shield against balance, try one of them!

Balance IS balanced BECAUSE it has no shield or prism or specific blade. Every other school has 70% and 80% shields plus 75% and 85% TC shields. Same reason they have low power blades. The point of the Balance School is that there is little defense for it. They tell you that when you discover the school in Krokatopia.
