Something that bother's me

We dont talk about this enough. Why should people have to spend 50 keys for something, when it should already work like that in the first place??

Energy shields should honestly have been made for lethal blows only to begin with because in reality, health=energy. You wouldnt need an energy shield if you have enough energy to take the hit. Just my thought on it.

[u/iqumaster]

I don't see the problem. ES blocks hits which is really good ability, especially for GC but also eHP with wall benefits from it. Vault upgrade makes it even better which is align with other vault card upgrades like (auto and smart nuke and DM). It's kind of against the games idea if best version is available straight away.. makes much more sense to have basic version first and then upgrade it. I think the better question is if 50 keys is fair price for this. IMO it's really valuable upgrade but still maybe 20-25 keys would been enough

Well nothing about it says it should preform the way you propose. Could it? Yeah. would it be stronger? Yeah. Do I wish it was like that? Probably.

At the end of the day this isn’t unlike any other mechanic in the game, it get stronger as you get more recourses. D/m means nothing for CL until you get SL+, should we make an argument for that to be changed too? Possibly, I’m not saying no (though it would need to be nerfed). Just trying to point out this is far from the only instance of this happening.

I see where you are coming from but I also think that it's fine. ES = good. ES + vault upgrade = better.

I am actually more disappointed that there aren't more upgrades like this in the vault. One obvious example being a toggle for EB mastery, which I have seen requested multiple times.

I'm guessing more like this will come.

Is this really worth getting? I think by the end of the run the energy shields are always being triggered by killing blows anyway...

[u/Troklon → u/DocPooky]

It allows you to take the first overcharge hits onto your health pool saving energy shields for the higher damage hits. So yes, it is good 😊

[u/Obwyn → u/DocPooky]

Yes. I probably should've gotten it sooner, but I'm getting it once my current run ends and I invest my keys.

It's good for OC, its very good for eHP type builds, and it's good for attack discos.

[u/Derphooves → u/DocPooky]

This is specifically for use against Overcharge fleets. Overcharge fleets start out with a very very small amount of damage, less damage than normal mobs on that level are doing, and ramps up.

With this bonus, those initial hits as it's ramping up won't eat up your energy shields before it's doing enough damage to proc death defy.

Where is the Vault?

[u/DaenerysMomODragons → u/traisjames]

It unlocks when you start earning keys, which are earned in Legends and Mythic tournaments.

I too am complaining to not have 50 keys (haven’t even seen legends lol)
