Bases

• Supreme Spiked Shield: Best base due to having lots of Evasion and a good amount of ES
• Imperial Buckler or Lacquered Buckler: can be used for MAX DPS. (I used this on the champion ver)

iLevel

• 86 (you can recombinate high level bases to you base if you wanna increase iLevel)

Scion Shield (or a CI shield)

Cheap Method

1. spam desolation essence on shaper shield for % and flat evasion/es
2. prefixes cannot be changed and reforge defence or influence for recover 5% of es mod.
3. if you fill suffix then yolo annul
4. foulborn exalt last suffix (block mana regen)
5. craft 5% DD

Expensive Method

IF you are gonna do a giga craft where you will use Hinekora's Locks for the final 2-3 Mods, the make sure you add strands! I wouldn't go for locks if you dont have strands.

1. desolation on shaper/redeemer shield. you want desolation essence to be the only prefix. also require 1 open suffix
2. craft suffix cannot be changed > Scour to turn magic. The item should now be a magic item with only the essence mod.
3. imprint.
4. aug for suffix > revert to imprint if brick. you want either recover es on block, +3 max res or aura effect
5. imprint/beast lock for regal suffix. you want either recover es on block, +3 max res or aura effect
6. multimod, craft mana > Foulborn Exalt prefix (if doing giga craft where you look for the last 2-3 mods with Hinekoras locks, then you DONT use crafted mods! Instead use a hinekora lock + exalt/foulborn exalt for the last prefixes/suffix.)
7. remove crafted mod, craft suffix mod
8. foulborn exalt prefix
9. craft 5% DD

Champion Build (or life/hybrid life/es build)

Cheap Method

1. use Imperial Buckler base
2. spam desolation essence on shaper shield for Block and flat life
3. prefixes cannot be changed and reforge influence
4. if you fill suffix then yolo annul
5. foulborn exalt last suffix (block mana regen)
6. craft 15% DD while focus

Expensive Method

basically same as scion expensive method but the mods you want will be different.
