That depends on if this skill is able to activate on the first (enemy) turn. If the skill works just like counterattack (where you get the shield icon, but only on your turn) then it wouldn't make much difference. However, if the skill can actually activate on the enemy's first turn, then 2x Empress Cleopatra + 2x Perse + Time Mage Perse could actually knock out an attacker on their first turn, which would be godly in ABB.

Of course, we need to find out whether this skill procs a shield like counterattack does, or if it can actually activate on the enemy turn.
