The worst part is that any time I say “No Dev would do this” I can instantly find someone who does lmao.

I was expecting the dub of this to be out by now, but it's been a few weeks without an update. I don't know why.
I don't know exactly what unbreakable shield is, but in season 1, Payne had the skill Break Shield. So if we figure that unbreakable shield just means immunity to players and bosses who have the Break Shield ability, than it's not exactly broken.
Payne's group Mii's group and, the rest of Maple Tree are also playing on the highest tier. The lower level player's in Payne and Mii'g guild are probably on lower difficulty tiers.
And, you're not wrong about Payne, after all we did find out in the first season that Payne like Maple is a great shielder, the weakest in offense of all the classes.
Neat Break down on how Unbreak Shield + Machine God could make Maple immortal. My immediate thought was, if Machine god requires Maples armor and shield to break, then unbreakable shield will prevent machine god from activating, or only the armor breaks and machine god isn't as strong (My thought process might be tainted by the disappointment that Genshin's Rainden Shogun's Ultimate couldn't work with Beidou's Ultimate). Your break down sound like a cooler break down though.
Also I think the Devs want to make a challenge, but there armatures and are just overly worried about Maple because she breaks the game in weird ways. Remember "Never attribute to malice, what can be attributed to incompetence."
Making a Dark Maple would be quite interesting. There is the issue of getting an A.I. to fight as unpredictably as her, even if you gave it all the same stuff. Granted it might be for the best if it isn't as strong. Besides there would be issues with making a boss even stronger if it is in the same area.
I picture it hold up in some castle off to the side. In the first season there was talk of an increase of micro-transactions by players trying to beat her. She could make for a good raid boss. Her different transformations could be battle phases. A boss fight against her would drag on for a while. It would be very bad if there was also a Dark Sally.
I do think the devs should largely ignore Maple's antics, raid boss clone not withstanding. Adding piercing seems like a decent way to balance the game, provided you don't go overboard with it. I guess monsters with piercing damage stand out more than the ones that don't because Maple just plows through the others. I do fear that Maple will develop skills that counter abilities meant to counter her. Imagine if she got something to cancel out piercing damage.
I have found fixed damage annoying. I played another game where I pretty much manage to produce a Maple level tank with the right combos, reducing damage enough that he normally doesn't feel it. There are some weaknesses and it takes a bit to set up, but some of the opponents deal damage that can't be reduced. Although it can still be negated if it's the right element.
It depends on what unbreakable shield means. I played a game where "armor break" was a status effect that rendered my defensive items useless for a little while. There where accessories that rendered me immune to that. It could simply just be immune to the shield break skill, which wouldn't benefit Machine God. Conversely it could be simply incompatible with Machine God, not having defense to break. Worse case it could hobble Machine God, rendering it unable to feed on her shields.
Maple skill that she shown this episode
Unbreakable Shield: take half damage for some second
Heavy Body: immunity to knock back
Here's something to think about. Maple got the Pandemonium skill,, oni summoning, yet didn't use it. xD
Also funny the Devs said this episode had their strongest boss. When season one's 4th episode had a (articuno) boss that was supposed to be an unbeatable troll. So all i can think is maybe this was the devs attempts at trying not to troll while making a boss.
The Devs real Problem with Maple is that they wrote all these super cool, ultra rare items, Then hid them behind "impossible" puzzles, Never bothering to balance the game for any of them to be in anyone's possession….. Is completely unprepared for all of them to be in Is one person's possession. Maple continues to stumble into all of the Exploits that shatter the already broken game.
Kasumi's sword has multiple different attacks with each attack having its own penalty to use. Purple Phantom Blade is the most powerful and the penalty is having all your stats nerfed for 10 minutes. Arms of the Warrior is the second attack we've seen. I'm thinking that this skill moves her attack/defense stats to the arms themselves, meaning that her physical body is more vulnerable while she's using the arms.
Sort of like using Captain Blade's Rapier in Borderlands 2. This unique Vladof assault rifle boosts your melee attack damage by 200% but makes you take more damage from melee attacks as well.
