What do you use to defeat shields?
Oh and how come every time I try to go to World-of-war.com it takes me to some search engine?

World-at-war is a very old link exchange that no longer exists. You use more attack power to defeat shields. You can do this by putting more troops on your ship or getting your ship more experience. Or it may take multiple assaults if the defense of the planet is over 1.5 million. 1.5 million is the max attack power of an assault. This would be more appropriately placed in the New Players' Forum Q & A thread. I do check it.
