Tips that save runs
- The Augur set: Brief Respite stacks with it for 390% total conversion with all six Augur mods.
- Energy-heavy casters that spend a lot per cast, since more energy spent means more Shield.
- Squads with several casters, because the aura works for the whole squad.
- It is an aura mod, so it goes in the aura slot.
- The conversion works only while Overshields are inactive.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Running it on frames with no energy or no Shields and expecting a return.
- Expecting it to keep Overshields topped up: it does nothing while they are active.
