So I'm fairly new to the game, just started playing last week, and I made a Defender as my first T2 shield because it seemed like a decent pick. Since then, I've found it kind of lack luster, especially considering the damage bonus from using the Bristling Buckler. So, I had the tokens to buy the Bristling and went for it.
I just upgraded it to a Twisted Targe and got a Unique Variant. Resistance to Elemental: Maximum!
I will probably upgrade this shield all the way to 5* as a result of that luck, but what I want to know is if an Owlite (or any other) shield would be better for resists. What shield would you use for Tier 3 runs? Vanaduke runs?
First off - no one item is perfect and more powerful than Goku upon Nappas scan.
secondly - your twisted targe is godlly and would be worth.. well lots. lots and lots.
third, i guess - an Owlite would be an excellent backup shield, but seeing as how you have an Ele-max targe, stick to that for a while.
lastly - on Vanaduke, as ashamed as i am to admit it, i havent really done it, but yet i would assume seeing how its shadow, fire and "normal" damage attacks, you may as welll use your targe when its 5* - that, and it has a shiny "med" sword damage boost, which will make a Divine Avenger that much more awesome.
