How to Play
From Rare, use frontal blocking while concentrating; from Unique, turn barriers into physical attack. Common has no frontal block, and barrier scaling is capped. Generate barriers with Shield Smash, then use Shield Rush to charge basic attacks faster. Dodge attacks from behind and restore a broken barrier first. The simulator adds recommended candidates up to the slot limit. Remove or replace them as needed.
Why It Works
Start with physical equipment around Courage 2 and Arms 2. Use Architect’s Breastplate for a short barrier and Attendant’s Pauldrons for faster concentration. Add Hunter's Wooden Longbow once critical chance is sufficient. You do not need all three items to begin.
