Tips that save runs
- Frames with tiny Shield pools, since they lose almost nothing to the penalty.
- Health-tank frames that rely on Vitality and armor rather than Shields.
- Builds that care about Shield Gate timing, since the gate immunity is fixed.
- It is a Corrupted mod, so the upside comes with a real Shield penalty.
- The Shield Gate immunity duration is 1.33 seconds at max rank.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Running it on a Shield-tank frame and losing most of the pool.
- Expecting it to raise Shield Capacity: the number is a multiplier below one.
