Baldur Shell isn't working
the description says it takes four hits and then shatters, does that mean four hits total and then its rendered useless? Or is it supposed to reset when i start healing again? If i just cant ever use it anymore then whats even the point of it

It blocks damage only when you're focusing (healing) but it breaks the focus and wastes the soul. It breaks after four hits and gets repaired the next time you sit at a bench. So basically if your the kind of person how misjudges times to heal a lot it can save you four times per bench. But it's generally considered a pretty bad charm and you'd be better off with one of the other healing related charms like quick focus or shape of Unn

It is a mixed bag, as with a lot of charms. It is very useful, if you can learn to use it properly, and when you are learning bosses that you have yet to master. Strategically it does precisely what shields are meant to do; give you time to figure out how to beat something. Once you know the boss, you can fall back onto the speed boosts and just dodge.

I will say it is one of the more satisfying charms to use, the option it gives in a pinch is worth the two notches if you can't fit in something else you want. It lacks synergy, but thinking about it makes me wonder what I may have missed there. It makes sense as a top-end shield for blue masks, maybe it can do something else.
