Industry Perspective
DLC shield poke builds prioritize defensive stability and retaliation damage. Optimal talismans enhance these qualities while mitigating vulnerabilities. Fortified Brass Shield, a DLC talisman, significantly boosts shield block and damage negation. This synergizes with the shield poke strategy by reinforcing defense and empowering counterattacks.
Strategic Implications
In addition to Fortified Brass Shield, the Great-Jar’s Arsenal talisman increases equip load capacity. This enables players to wear heavier armor without sacrificing mobility, further enhancing their defensive capabilities. Furthermore, the Lord of Blood’s Exultation talisman triggers damage buffs upon taking damage, rewarding aggressive playstyles that capitalize on the shield poke build’s defensive resilience.
