Description

An unusual shield embedded with ambers mined from beyond the skies. Used to level up Traces significantly for Preservation characters.

Lore

The wielder of this shield is seemingly protected by an invisible shield wall, immune to fiery arrows or mountainous claws. Ancient legends entail a war where a tribal hero wielding a bronze shield charged to their death against a Leviathan, together with warriors armed with fiery spears. This shield is a witness to that war. "Do not cross the line."

Farm it smart

A Trace (skill tree) material. Harsh truth: traces devour materials late-game, especially levels 8–10. Do not level evenly — pour into Skill/Ultimate (your main damage) first, Basic ATK last.
