Hello all!
I'd like to ask something fun ... If you have to choose 3 MAX! Uv's in these shields, what Uv's you will choose and why?
*BTS
*Swiftstrike Buckler
*Volcanic Plate
*Ancient Plate
*Crest of Almire
*Grey Owlite
*Dragon Scale
*Omega Shell
Pick one (or all if u want) and let me know.
Thx for posting, Zeddy.
About the Omega Shell, isn't status Uv's better than defense ones?
BTS:
max elemental (so I can take it everywhere)
max shadow (so I can take it everywhere)
max stun (so it can take powerful hits)
SSB:
max normal (so it can take a hit or two)
max stun (so it stands a chance against stronger hits)
max shock (so when I'm shocked, it doesn't damage the shield as much to block it)
CoA:
max curse (so I can take it into UFSC)
max elemental (so it is more useful in FSC & UFSC)
max stun (so it can tank Trojans & Vana's mace better)
Omega Shell:
max pierce (versatility)
max elemental (versatility)
max shadow (versatility)
Dragon Scale:
max normal (so it isn't a paper shield)
max shadow (to round out its defenses)
max stun (so it can take a hit from larger foes)
Ancient Plate:
max poison (to maximize the health bonus that the Ancient Plate set offers)
max pierce (so it competes with Ironmight in RJP)
max fire (so it competes with VPS in FSC)
VPS:
max elemental (so it is even more OP against Vana's mace)
max shadow (so it can tank zombie hits better in FSC)
max shock (so I can use it in ICMF and UICMF)
GOS:
max freeze (so I can tank elemental freeze hits)
max poison (so I can tank elemental poison hits)
max stun (so I can tank heavy hits)
There are some things that I'd like to discuss.
Lots of knights tend to prefer defense Uv's instead status resist. How useful they are? Seems that the defense bar aren't affected that much. Also, a MAX status Uv can't reach an natural Uv bar. I really don't know who's the best...
Depends on your play style, if you have a crazy weapon like Fang of Vog with CTR + ASI max, youll want UV's with status protection. Fang has probably one of the best Charge hits in the game, mines doing like 600 x 4 under the right circumstances. As you can imagine if you can spam that much damage without getting hit by your own UV its pretty powerful, same goes for weapons like the Gran Faust.
Thats also just one case, sometimes places have somewhat unavoidable things thatll status effect you. Cant dodge everything :P
Other examples, like being poisoned, doing less damage and being unable to heal in key moments can be pretty bad. Theres alot of other examples but im too lazy to type a bunch.
In this thread I'll talk only about Shield's UV. They appear to be different than armours Uv's... But thx for your comment =p
You do realize Armor and Shields fall in the same UV category right ?
BTS
Shadow defense max
Pierce resist max
Elemental resist max
Resist=defense
Omega Shell
Max Normal
Max Shadow
Max Elemental
It's either Omega or Swifstrike, really. Omega because it has more health than other shields and Swiftie 'cause it's Swiftie.
