Because they really boost your block chance. Shield allows you to block a lot of quick weaker attacks (which are impossible to dodge without special abilities)
Great game dude! Love the combat and skill system, reminds me a bit of SMT. Just to ask, since I'm starting out, is there any beastiary/way to view enemy weaknesses? If not, I think there should be.
Quick tip for everyone- right as you start the game, jump into the map and go to a very high cp area. You'll instantly gain the "experienced death" and "transcended death" titles. Like this to keep it up!
The game gives away tons of diamonds for free https://www.mafiabattle.info/free-diamonds . With these you can buy your first extra timers pretty easily.
Hm I added them a bit after I wrote the description. But statistics multi are almost negletible for most of the game unless you climb up to higher P.Baals so it almost has nothing to do with the rest of the game. I guess I can add the word "almost" to the description.
