People are really idiotic here. OF COURSE shields and overshields by themselves are practically useless. THIS IS WHY you are supposed to synergize Vampire Leech with BLESSING, so that the damage reduction applies to the shields and overshields all the time. You actually get a constant and massive damage buffer this way. You are not supposed to use this augment by itself.

Unless you're only doing low level content, short-Duration EV builds with this are terrible. Go for long-Duration, 190% Range and ~150% Power Strength on Trinity, and just shoot the enemy in the face immediately after you EV them with a Rubico P or something, rinse and repeat.

Your EV will still give the same amount of energy back, but now you can actually use your Link (making you tankier and helping you find EV targets quicker) and Blessing abilities instead of completely ignoring them.
