What to watch

For broader mechanics and progression context, read the Shield Lancer class guide before choosing a source build snapshot.

How should you use this source snapshot?

Treat this as a current-season starting point tied to the source update shown above. Verify balance-sensitive numbers in game after any newer patch, and compare the supplied variants before copying one loadout wholesale.

What does this source build cover?

DISCLAIMER: DAMAGE RETURN MIGHT STILL NOT FUNCTION AS IT SHOULD. We tested this build in S9 and the damage was only good enough for Hell 1. We asked around and found out damage return was not working correctly. We heard PAS should be fixing it in S10. So we are visiting the build again.

We are playing and updating this build live on stream. Feel free to join the stream and ask any questions. We will be doing trial and error on things and hopefully solving issues together. Can also join the discord and ask any questions there.

This build is designed to be tanky and to reflect back damage. Come join the stream and feel free to share any suggestions or questions you have about the build. We have figured out how the damage can scale. So in theory this build should be viable this season.

How is this build divided into variants?

Variant	Level	Attributes	Linked items
Leveling Active source variant	100	300 ARM / 100 VIT	29

Which skill priorities does the source give?

From 1-7 can level and deal damage with Battle Charge. Then from 8-15 we use Honed Defenses. From there you will swap over to Shield wall and Damage Return for a majority of damage.

How does the source recommend playing it?

Basically you just bring monsters in towards you. Let them hit you and they die. When bossing I found using Shield Wall to be the best ST skill for this build. It also scales the damage on Honed Defenses a little. This is still a WIP.
