FF6 - Favorite Elemental Shield
« on: August 06, 2008, 11:25:21 PM »
When voting, please explain why you voted for your pick.

My favorite would be Flame, only because I see quite a bit of Fire late game.

My runner up is Ice... it's a perfect couple to Force Armor and Minveras...

For kicks: What spell is the least effective vs all of the shields? It probably shouldn't surprise you to the answer...

I like them all, personally. It's nice having easily changed out equipment to nullify the primary elements.

it's tough to really pick one, because they can be switched out very freely.

if i HAVE to pick one, the thunder shield.  absorbs thunder, 50% flame/ice, nulls wind, no weakness. :)

Thunder Shield has the best elemental protection of the three shields, and it's absurd how good it is. :omghax:

Let's be honest, you probably use Kappa less than Edgar's Air Anchor!

I actually dislike, if not just hate, the Thunder Shield.

It's great when you have no resistances, and that's the best props I'd give it, but it sucks when it counts for me.

Thunder Shield is not that handy with the Minerva (you only get Thunder absorb as the prime benefit).. and it primarily shares a pair of the Force Armor benefits.

I forgot to mention the Cat's Hood... a great matchup with the Ice Shield. Thunder Shield provides the extra Wind immunity, but shares too much of the other pair of existing elementals...

Ultimately, Fire protection is of utmost important to me.. which is where my primary bias lies with.

Here's a few reasons..

1) Fire perhaps is the most used elemental in the game (I need to run an actual count to be sure though)... Flare Star, N. Cross (or was it S. Cross), and many others

2) One status was built to make you use Fire.

So there.  :tongue:

Very true, but I believe the poll was about the three shields by themselves. If not, I was misled! :isuck:

The question primarily analyzes what you primarily think of their magic properties... and maybe for others, the stats (not that they are amazing or overpowered or anything of the sort).

There are no limits on the interpretation.

Stupid question because I'm tired: What status is that?

I voted Ice, simply because the Ice spells look the best to me.
