This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Always use Small Shield Potions or Legacy Small Shield Potions first before drinking regular Shield Potions, as those can be used to get to max shield, but not vice versa. However, if you are in possession of two Shield Potions and no Small Shield Potions, it is easier to just consume both Shield Potions than look for small ones.
- When in a build fight, use Small Shield Potions or Legacy Small Shield Potions rather than the Shield Potion. The enemy could easily eliminate you.
