How to Play the Star Trace Resonance Protection Build Introduction to the Star Trace Resonance Divine Shield Knight Protection and Recovery Build

In the Star Trace Resonance, the Shield Knight's protection and recovery flow focuses on high survival and team damage absorption. This is achieved through shield stacking, damage reduction coverage, and self-healing mechanisms to ensure sustained combat on the battlefield. Today, I will share how to play the Star Trace Resonance protection and recovery flow. This build has a low entry barrier but a very high skill ceiling, making it suitable for new players and as a main tank in team dungeons. Next, I will introduce the development and gameplay of this build.

The core skills of the protection and recovery flow are Heroic Shield Strike and Judgment. At the start, prioritize using Heroic Shield Strike to stack physical defense buffs (up to 3 layers, each layer increases defense by 10%), while also triggering the Light Holy Shield to generate an absorption shield. During battle, you need to reapply Shield Strike every 6 seconds to maintain the buff. When the Shield Strike is fully charged, it can provide an additional 15% damage reduction. When your health drops below 70%, immediately use Judgment to deal physical damage to the locked target and recover 20% of the lost health (for example, losing 100,000 HP can restore 20,000 HP). Throwing Shield is a secondary skill used to reduce enemy damage (decreases target damage by 15% for 5 seconds after hitting), and it is recommended to use it during the boss's casting phase to reduce burst pressure.

Primary attributes should focus on Defense and Health, with secondary attributes prioritizing Haste (to shorten skill cooldowns) and Crit (to trigger清算强化). The weapon of choice is the Breaker Heavy Shield, which has the special effect "Armor Crack" that reduces the target's armor by 15%, stacking with the Shield Strike's armor penetration. For armor, choose the [Holy Mark Plate Set], where the 4-piece set effect increases the Light Guardian's damage reduction to 50% and provides a 3-second group shield (absorption amount = 8% of the Knight's maximum health). It is recommended to carry the Unyielding Medal, which restores 1.5% of maximum health with each successful block, working well with the frequent Shield Strike triggers to achieve a stable healing rate of about 3000 HP per second.

In the talent tree, prioritize Block Counter (increases counterattack damage by 20% after blocking), Holy Shield Blessing (reduces invincibility cooldown by 3 seconds), and Judgment Ascension (increases healing ratio to 25%). During battle, maintain the number of [Light Holy Shield] layers (up to 5 layers, each layer increases all resistance by 2%) by quickly stacking them with Shield Strikes and Throwing Shields. Use the Light Energy (regenerates 1 point per second) primarily to activate Light Guardian for 8 seconds of high damage reduction, and use any remaining energy to trigger Clearing for crit block benefits.

The protection and recovery flow, with its seamless damage reduction and powerful self-healing, becomes the strongest front-line in team dungeons. From controlling the rhythm of Shield Strikes to distributing Light Energy, every step requires precise execution. Prioritize stacking Defense, Health, and Haste on gear, and avoid Crit unless you have the Judgment +25% healing bonus. This will help you build a very effective protection flow.
