Any use for a shield pulse?

I've got a spare Saber and no intention of merging him, I'd rather give the rare skill to someone.

But it's kinda hard to think of a good way to use it. It's often just better to go with an offence skill.

I was thinking of maybe using it with Sacred Cowl on Xander..
Is that even remotely a good idea? Or does someone know a good build with shield pulse?

Shield Pulse Pavise with Heavy/Flashing Blade SS.
This build runs perfectly to Raven & Soleil cuz they have high atk & spd.
With that they can deal high damages and take ridiculous damages thanks to Pavise.

Aha you got it :p !
You can put LnD or anything you want on the A slot. I put Fury cuz it's budget and I already gave her before I build her :)
It's very satisfying when she can kill some blues units !

My only experience with that ability is through Fjorm who tends to use it to great effect. I don't think Xander really has the Res to pull for it to make much difference against mages.

Looking through characters with somewhat similar stat spreads it might work well on a more defensively oriented F!Grima, but you are going to have to make some sacrifices to pull it off that probably won't be worth it.

for a more easily accessed character Effie might be a good Candidate (especially if paired with DC and Berkut's Lance (+Def)).

I always thought Brave Ike would be a fantastic candidate because of Urvan. Even Brave attackers will do very little to him because of the 80% reduction on the non-pavise hit. Plus, he already comes with steady breath, so you can slap QR on him in the seal slot and dish out some pretty decent damage as well.

Soleil and Raven are great suggestions though, and much easier to merge. Personally, I have 7 B!Ikes waiting for the day I pull the fabled Saber, but at this point he is more a myth than an actual character.

Saber or Fjorm :p
I pulled 3 copies of her in some legendary banners when I want the other blue units ...
So I have 2 others Shield Pulse fodders. I just wait to pull a +spd Raven now x)

I have a rule that I don't fodder any Legendary heroes. They are just too important for arena scoring. But yeah, for others Fjorm is easily the more available Shield Pulse fodder.

RAVEN

Hear me out on this

With an atk boon and the refined eff on basilikos and LnD as the A skill, Raven is dealing 126 dmg before buffs and WTA/WTD

BUT depending on the bane, we'll go with a res bane in this instance, he'll drop to 15 defense and 9 resistance

"Isn't that too low to even consider working with?"
Slap Pavise on Raven, get that shield pulse on there, heavy blade or flashing blade seal, and Raven can tank and survive combat with nearly anyone who uses a lance, axe, sword, or dragonstone

a 60 atk enemy who only attacks Raven once will have their atk reduced by three instances of dmg mitigation and only deal 10 dmg

60>30(Pavise)>25(SP)>10(DEF)

If he doesn't finish his foe off in one round, he can simply finish them off the next turn and be repositioned away

I built an anti armor Saber, it's the first thing he's been good at and finally put all those pity breakers to use.

I've been building other anti armor units and wish now I had saved some saber to increase their tank potentials.
