uhhhhhh
what? SF that's false, because I can instantly bring my shield up fast enough to block most attacks - hell, with how slow some of the tells are I can usually do it before they finish the wind up...
maybe you're just lagging?
but yes this game is a lot of kiting because more often than not, shielding doesn't really save you from that much damage. Shields are better used for the many forms of cancels, shield bumping, and last second defense.
additionally, with how effin slow you move while shielded, staying shielded is usually MORE dangerous. Personally I find it better to treat the game like a bullet hell and the shield like the focus button...
btw, about the "equipment determines your tier" thing - I'll use that earlier inspect image of super's character as an example whiiich actually indicates I'm wrong by a little bit.
see that pair of bars at the bottom that say "PvE" and "PvP"? those indicate how "strong" the game considers your current equipment. In SF's case, full 4* is considered "entry level T3" so all missions would start near the first few floors of T3 (depth 21 or so). For me, with full 5*, it considers me to be high-end T3, so it puts me at Depth 24 minimum; but if I put on proto armor, it would put me in T1 missions... unless I had a 5* weapon which would probably kick me up to low-end T2.
this only applies to Prestige missions tho. actual Story missions have the floors pretedetermined. :/
also by the end they give you the recipes for all the parts of the Azure line and base weapons up to 5* for free...which is a shame because the armor and weapons, while cool, aren't the best... except Nitronome because that's da bomb (get it?)
