I just checked my Nordlond Bestiary, and it turns out that female Fire Jotnar are typically spellcasters, so it might be a good bet that Missile Shield is popular among them.
Yet another example of why scouts should carry and occasionally use meteoric iron bodkin arrows. (Ditto meteoric iron spiked shuriken for ninjas with Throwing Art.)
