Basic Shield
SINGLE SOURCE common
Effect
Entry shield — small damage-block window. D-tier insufficient endgame protection per FRVR.
Basic Shield is the entry-level D-tier defensive gadget — provides a small damage block window. FRVR marks it as D-tier because Energy Shield (A) and Infinity (A) outperform Basic Shield on every metric.
When to swap
Replace Basic Shield with Energy Shield as soon as available; replace Energy Shield with Infinity for the longest defensive window.
