My favorite is fusing the President Hudson cutout to my shield. That way, Hudson's always got my back.
someone showed that u shud bring it out n flaunt it around tarrey town, the npc actually reacts to it n it’s hilarious
good one
I killed the Final Boss with a Hudson Weapon.
@@alfasilverbladeSon and done!
@@LexYeen🎶That’s why everybody chooses Hudson Construction🎶
Fusing a Talos heart to a shield will make projectiles reflect back to the enemy, no parry required!
Unexpected but good to know
I wonder if something similarbhappens with thebflux cores on shields..
Flux cored increase parry radius by a very large anount
Awe man I did that and was wondering what it does, then it broke eventually :(
thank you!
PRAAAISSEE TALOSSSSS!!!!! HEAR HIS WORDDDD!!!!
For the mirror shield, it also reflects moonlight as well. The light beam instantly KOs undead enemies.
Does it reflect light from the light towers in the Depths? :)
Does it use the durability ?
@@88FFX88 I've been playing around with a mirror shield for a while now, pretty much exclusively using it to dazzle enemies, and I haven't gotten any warnings about it breaking yet. If anything, it seems that the mirror does the least damage out of any of the practical fusions for the shield (if it does any at all), and it's ridiculous how useful it is. It instantly dazzles enemies and causes them to drop their weapons, and you can spam it, making it extremely useful for aggressive attacks. I hardly ever unequip mine.
@@SyntheticaYT It does, but only if you're right underneath one you've activated.
Well, I guess it makes sense since moonlight is reflected sunlight
Cannons might be an obvious thing to use, but if you shield surf from high up and paraglide you can use it to airstrike your enemies
Try fusing a cannon to your spear if you haven't yet !-)
@@mekudu-man3804Link just casually Inventing magic flintlocks on his way to defeat Ganon
@@mekudu-man3804 and then I just have to fly over enemies?
Fusing a wing(zonal tool) to a shield and doing a shield surf will give you a higher jump letting you pull out a bow and focus (slow motion) just from a shield surf jump
Yoww that's sick i remember fuse wing with sheild and underwhelming because i didn't fly now i saw this it's way more useful
Why don't you just call it bullet time instead of focus?
This is also a good way to give yourself more time for the dupe trick if you’re interested in doing that. Some will, some won’t but good to mention.
@@Krakain because it isn't bullet time
@@youtharcade you can do the dupe with just the paraglider btw, saves you from all those trips to the snow or sand
I fused a Hinox toenail to my shield. Not sure if it did anything, but it makes it nearly impossible to shield surf with, so I got that going for me.
You can defuse items in the inventory screen.
@@Logan_LOL_ tbh I wanna keep it to see if it gives my shield more durability. It doesn't give any indication that it does, but the thing is shaped like a shield and fits perfectly, so I'd hope it would do at least something.
I fused dragon's scale to my shield. Serve the same as attaching rare gems, but more snappy looking.
I wonder if a Hinox item on a weapon has a special strength against Hinoxes (Hinoxi?), similar to how a Talos heart is super strong when smashing Talos crystals...
when i’ve done it it never affected me that horribly, it might increase its friction especially on like rough terrain, but i have found it makes it so shield surfing over grass cuts it
Hell, I'm just glad that the Korok Leaf is now a consumable vs something that takes up a freaking weapon slot...
Agreeeeeeeed
My wife makes me eat them with my steak. So yeah, I hate them being food now. haha
Frozen Meat + Shield is one of the best for shield surfing I have found
Does it melt like ice slabs??
@@foleyfor5094 Pretty sure it doesn't
@@foleyfor5094only in hot areas they can get destroyed so don’t surf next to a fire
The Shield + Shield fuse is actually a good way to hold more shields if your inventory is too small.
After you get some space in your inventory, go to Tarrey Town and there is a Goron kid who will split any two fused items.
Bingo! 2 Shields for 20 Rupees
Ya... would be nice if he followed you around, or taught you how to do it yourself.
The thing that makes shield surfing on a rocket good isn't using it from the ground. Launch yourself into the air some other way first, and then start shield surfing while already in the air. It launches Link crazy far, and by putting the shield away *before* the rocket expires resets its duration. So yu can then start a shield surf again with a "fresh" rocket, and do this endlessly to legit just make Link "fly" anywhere. Like from ground level all the way to the water temple for an example.
Bro I'm trying this rn that sounds doooope
I have to try this
Holy shit. I wouldn't be surprised if they patch that out, sounds craaaazy OP for speed running
@@SNESpool can never patch if you don’t install the update : )
Just tested, if it used to work, it doesn't anymore, you just fall to the floor falling normal laws of gravity
The star fragments are what produces light when fused!! Try one on the end of a wand, makes navigating the depths way easier and it’s so fun to swing 🤩✨✨✨🌟
Wait... you can make a Kirby Star Wand in Zelda? I love this game!
LUMOS!
It doesnt deal damage though and brightblooms are cheaper to throw.
@@MegaKBang yeah definitely less cost effective… but way more ✨ magical✨🧙🏼♂️😂
I tried this, but it gave very minimal light for me
Fusing a Ruby to your shield provides a heat buff to link that protects him from cold!
Had no idea. Good point out!
Any warm item does
So does a sapphire for heat
And melt ice! Even when it's on Links back. It's free real estate!
@@GodSkul i was going to say this! Melting iceblocks is so much easier now🥰
You can fuse the sand seal statue from Rijus Throne room to your shield. It looks magnificent
Or the plushies!
@@terrykim2748 but the statue is also comically large when fused to links shield,it’s like a wall between you and your enemies
I thought i was the only one who did that lol
I wonder if you can give the baby leviathan skull to a shield... should have tried that one.
You stole that poor girl's plushie! You monster!
Fusing large slabs of things (e.g. stone slabs) to shields make them a lot larger and resistant to fire.
Great for lynels
makes them generally able to block elemental "emissions"
tower shield!
Yep, there’s a shrine that shows this off too
Videos like this remind me that I’ve only barely scratched the surface of this game, and I’ve still thoroughly enjoyed it.
I’ve been playing non stop (4 regions+ done, at the endgame) and honestly? Same
Fusing a shield and a homing cart allows you to use zonai energy to shield surf arguably forever (some areas don’t have good terrain)
It will still break your shield and you go slow af
@@capellozapellini6074 true but I used this item when crossing gloom on flat surfaces. Pretty effective
wait it actually moves you? i tried it on like 3 shields and i didnt see any noticeable effects
@@wqfled did you hold the “a” button (Or whatever the action button is)?
What is a Homing cart??
Fusing a shield to a spear or a two handed weapon allows you to gaurd while holding them.
I discovered that in the first 5 minutes it was amazing
Cool Tip: Use shields and fuse to smuggle elements in and out of shrines... rocket shields can negate a lot of puzzles and metal plates can be taken out of shrines this way! 💡
What do those metal plates do when fused
That Balloon shield looked promising. I haven't tried it yet, but you could actually make it inside the shrines, which you can't do with the rockets.
But yeah... team rocket shield for life... looks like we're blasting off again!!
You can use a rocket shield surf mid-air it boost you forward without having to land.
Just tested, doesn't work, maybe it got patched out
@@sidneyrobinson18 you have to do it off a cliff/ edge
@@lor8262 I jumped off the top of the little cliff that's directly above Gerudo town, where the shrine is. I fell like a sack of potatos. Didn't move forward at all.
@@sidneyrobinson18you need to glide with it
@@Splushr im not sure if that's possible, I can give it a go though if you want
Try fusing a stabiliser to a shield. It has some rather neat effects, such as:
-consuming battery when held out
-consuming durability over time when held out
-nothing else as far as i know
it's great if you want a shield to break without having to drop it, and also have too many stabilisers clogging up your inventory
I always have both of those problems.
Best advice here. /thread
The sarcasm is dripping more than water from a hydrant
Loving the introduction and how you guys carefully prevent spoiling major stuff. Bravo 👏
The gems shields are more useful than expected for their Cold and Warm properties allowing you to wear gear more flexibly without buffs needed
Ruby shield FTW
The elemental talus hearts do this as well, luminous produces light
I think dragon and gleeok elemental parts are one temperature tick stronger for this purpose
Really there are several ways to get elemental damage. I made a list the other day: fruit, dragon parts, likelike stones, lizal parts, chuchu jelly, keese parts, gems & gleeok parts. I was wondering when to use which...I think fruit & jelly should be for arrows as they break upon contact. So should keese parts as they give 2 for 1 abilities to your arrows. Dragon & gleeok parts are better for weapons bcuz of long lasting they are. Plus theyre the hardest to obtain & have the biggest fuse values. Lizal parts & likelike stones can be used either way. Gems are tricky bcuz they actually make magic rods...yu could launch them as arrows, but they have a wide radius & you could caught in that. You can ensure youre safe tho by sending them far or using upgraded armor
I find myself not really using that strategy as I like having the armor. It really comes in handy. Plus there's also having the right weapon, which makes it easier to take on enemies in that region, especially in the case of cold ones. This reminds me of how I was wondering if I should sell the ember & frostbite sets...they dont seem to be worth it. Oh but I just remembered, it would be nice to be able to wear my fierce deity or zonaite armor (some of my faves) in cold & hot places
Fuse a fallen star fragment to your shield and it's about the same as Glow 2 or 3. They also have a unique effect on magic rods.
Combined with a full on glow set and a star fragment torch it’s pretty epic bright 😂
If you fuse a diamond to your shield it looks like you're duel wielding swords. Plus the parry actually does a significant amount of damage (25) and can cut down trees.
theres a big steel door on the floor of the library under Hyrule that makes your shield look like an Elden Ring tower shield. Not sure if it adds anything other than durability, but it looks awesome.
Thank you! I was so annoyed that the spike strips fuse horizontally instead of vertically. Now I can have a proper tower shield!
@@ejhenry113you mean a stake?
@@Splushr I think he's referring to the spike plates you find on yiga vehicles, or in some shrines. I had the same issue with those.
Are you talking about the bookcases? Or is there an actual door that I’m missing
It's a big door that's laying on the floor of the second level of the library.
okay so this means a shield only run is 100% possible
Master sword is required to kill demon dragon
@@kiranaun9593 I will Fuze the master sword to my shield and be unstoppable. TEAM MASTER SHIELD RISE!!
Reminds me of the old "Nah, Smashing Board" video Dorkly did years ago on the original NES Zelda. I think it was called, Link Didn't Get The Sword.
@@kiranaun9593 thanks for spoiling the end of game a$$hole
@@kiranaun9593no its not
If you fuse a glider to your shield, you jump higher when going into a shield surf. This makes it so you can go from standing to air sniping without any resources!
u mean bullet time?
Sadly, a wheel fuses onto a shield in the wrong orientation - it does use up battery for guarding so I think it does *something*, but if you try and shield-surf Link will just fall on his face. I think a Homing Cart does work and will indeed effectively shield-surf as long as you have battery.
A Hylian Mushroom is a one-use version of the Spring - if an enemy hits it, they go flying, but only once.
I am now determined to kill the final boss with bees
I fused a light for exploring the depths.
Unrelated to shields, but fusing a stone to a weapon allows you to use it to solve the Korok rock puzzles.
I use the korok frond on an arrow to keep bees away when I hit a hive. 😂
I've seen someone cheese shield surfing the rocket (they would switch to other rocket shields before it expired and do tricks to get air) and it was pretty amazing. I haven't been able to replicate it yet.
just fuse a rocket to a bunch of your shields, and once one expires, just switch rocket shield midair and continue.
This tech is not reliable on norml circumstances tbh.. Some areas tho it's really effective and cool-looking.
The reason you can't replicate it is because the strat probably only works in the low gravity environments
cart shield is a game-changer in the depths, i used to waste several minutes figuring out how to get around gloom patches but now i get excited for the excuse to skate over them. i hear the wing shield is good for triggering the focus shot, but i also like to use it whenever i'm in free fall, it doesn't give you extra mobility or anything, but i like to pretend it does and it looks wicked cool
Nice, gloomy only takes your max hp if you stand in it for too long. So if running through the gloom would only be for a little bit, you're fine to just run through it.
@@Rotomoo this is true, you can also hop through them pretty effectively if they're small enough, but there are a lot of bigger patches that it's better to tony hawk through
im glad I'm not the only one who wingshields just to look cool
Using Ascend and launching out of Skyview Towers 300 times more awesome-looking with a Wing-shield on your back. 😎
Rocket Shield is this game's poor man's Revali's Gale.
Revali's Gale at home
*Spoilers for Gerudo*
Lightning temple has a floor that has a Gibdo spawner. I think it’s the top floor before the elevator.
If you put a few mirrors down aiming under the spawner, you can farm Gibdo bones at no cost which yield high damage on a bow.
Riju can also fight them for you, and her weapons don’t break.
You’ll need a Diamond ring though.
That girl is worth it. Riju is best girl.
Does it really matter what order I do the Temples in? Because I want to do the Lightning Temple next
@@jeffreykimmet7805 Not at all. But you I don't know if the farm stops working after you beat the lightning temple.
So you might want to farm a few hundred Gibdo bones before beating the boss.
At the very least, beat the boss, but leave that spawner working.
Maybe it'll still work after the Boss is dead.
Fusing a Stone Slab to a Shield is very handy for negating Fire Attacks. There's even a Shrine that demonstrates this in the Eldin Region.
You can also use Planks of Wood, Ice Slabs, or Barricades from Enemy Hideouts to Negate Certain types of damage entirely, and they raise Defensive Power quite a bit. Idk about Durability though, and they're not all great for Shield Surfing. I like using a Cart or Sled for that.
A bookcase does the same effect.
broken armor reflects attacks back at enemies if fused to a shield, no need for parrying. those spiked metal plates probably do the same thing. i use them for entering caves to kill the swarms of keese that fly out and reap the rewards. just hold up your shield when entering a cave, hope for bat swarms, profit. 👍
I typically fused rocks or Talus hearts to my shields. Won't let you shield surf, but great for mining! Plus the elemental hearts add their bonus on top of the damage you get when parrying.
In terms of weapons though, I've found attaching elemental stuff to boomerangs insanely satisfying! (Plus the trail they make looks downright awesome!)
Giant boomerang with ice lizalfos tail is definitely worth a try.
I found the ice dragon early and got a ton of spikes off her. Whenever I get a boomerang type weapon I always put an ice spike on it. Looks sick; and kicks ass.
Beam emitter fused to giant boomerang = instant rave of death
I really appreciate the spoiler tags at the start of the video.
My favorite so far has been a simple one. In the camo you were at I had a boomerang, which I generally never use. But this time I fused it with an explosive barrel and threw it right into the monster nest and all but the boss was either taken out or brought to at least half health. Made the whole thing so much easier from the start.
it's Hyrule roulette with the boomrang bomb. Either the enemy gets damaged, or it comes back to you
@@sephypantsu you can still just recall it if it's going to hit you.
Fusing a shard of dinraal or naydra is a great way to keep yourself warm or cool in areas of the game that require it. You can also use the shard to proc the element by parrying with it, even lighting fires with dinraals shard.
I think it's easier just to fuse a ruby or Talos heart to stay warm rather than using dragon parts which are pretty hard to get
@@donniecupples6721 the dragon back spikes are 100 times easier to get than rare gems like rubies or sapphires. I have hundreds of each back shard. Once you have all the towers unlocked for the map, any time you see a dragon ping it with your telescope and travel to the closest tower or sky shrine and land on the dragon. They all have fixed paths and are relatively easy to spot since they are so massive.
Not enough love for the fuse mechanic. I get that Ultrahand let some madness loose, but Fusion felt like what an LoZ crafting system should be. I hope the next game builds on it.
Hah! "Builds" on it. I see what you did there.🤭😏
In the next game, we'll get to Fuze NPCs to our swords.
I use the Talus drop to emit some extra light along with a certain costume. Great for the depths
I just found out you can use Gale just before throwing something like a bloom and it makes it go much further. Useful for saving arrows in the depths.
Laser beam or any emmiter on a boomerang makes crazy beyblades of death for crowd control, and elemental tails on heavy weapons have been a personal fav
A bookcase shield is pretty fun... But like the bees, the novelty wears off 😅
Wow. You guys REALLY missed the opportunity to Shield Surf w a Rocket WHILE PARAGLIDING! It's actually VERY effective for that purpose. Not only does it rocket you forward but it gives lift as well!
By fusing multiple shields with Rockets & switching them mid flight so they don't despawn, you can cross HUGE portions of the map quickly just by Paragliding. Can't believe you guys somehow missed that factoid.
Shield rocket was really helpful for me when fighting a fire Gleeok. I had several shields prepared with rockets, and I used them to gain altitude and fire at the eyes while time was paused in mid air.
Fuse the Hudson cardboard cutout to your shield and people will think you are Hudson.
I absolutely love the variety of Totk tips/fact videos because there’s a mix between the obnoxious and annoying videos that don’t add spoiler warnings *cough cough rage gaming videos cough* and then there’s the amazing ones like these that add spoiler warnings and are enjoyable
I love rocket shields and cart shields! I also love having a ruby shield so I can use it for heat in cold areas. Recently I put a Naydra spike on a shield and it looks cool, plus it glows a bit. (And then the shield is called Naydra Shield). Not sure if it works for cooling down in hot areas but I’d guess so!
It’s handy to find Luminous Talus and use their hearts to attach on shields so you have a pretty good glow in dark places when you dont want to bother with glow food/clothes!
More of these videos please! There's so much to try in TotK that I'm not even afraid of having combos spoiled to me, I want to bring everyone together and hear and see all of the ideas and inventions, especially with that lovely NL presentation quality ~
For surfing, frozen meat is actually better than ice platforms!
They both work the same, but ice platforms have low durability and can break mid-surf even if your shield is fine, while frozen meat shields last until the shield itself breaks!
This is amazing! Thank you so much for this! Shield surfing is how I got around like 90% of the time in BOTW and now because of this it’s so much better!
How can you shieldsurf?
@@noidea5597 hold ZL then press X then when you’re in mid air Press A
One thing I was trying to find but sadly doesnt seem to exist is I was attaching stuff to my shield to shield surf on water.
Tried boards, tried float objects from shrines, tried fusing a boat to the shield. None of these worked so guessing you cant do it
if you fuse a Star Fragment to your shield, it lights the ground around you.
I know regular mushrooms make stuff "bouncy" so I imagine the same would be for shields. This video was great, it gave me so many ideas. Thanks!
Thanks for the bird egg tip. I'll give that one a try
I must try that like like shield systems. One thing that I did for most of my playthrough was have a shield with the luminous talus heart that really did help in finding your feet in the dark
Dragon scales seem to be specifically for shields. they do the same as spike shards but are smooth so you can still shield surf, also keeps the sleek shield look. light dragon scales heal you on shield bash and parry, just like attacking.
Rocket shield surfing in the air is a handy way to get some distance, kinda like
Tulin's gust but not as good and yes the rocket will keep going while using the paraglider
Fuse a luminous Talos heart to your shield for a reliable lantern. It's like having the glow buff on. Opal magic rods have the same effect.
For the Shield+Shield combo, shield-surfing will break the secondary shield before the first.
That's just because the base shield is the only one that receives the fusion durability buff. Fusing a shield onto the other isn't protecting one in any way. I believe it's a waste of a shield when compared to fusing to a material.
I love fusing the cannon to break the rocks that cover cave openings, also homing cart zonai devices are good for shield surfing/skating since they just keep running those treadmills
The like stone idea blew my mind. Thanks
I can't believe you didn't try this....... frozen meat on a shield gives the ice block feel without the fuss of melting!!!
My FAVORITE shield fuse (for durability increasing) is..... (very minor Depths Spoilers ahead)......
......
......
.......
The metal spike guard that can be found in Yiga forts/hideouts!!!! It's "meant" to be attached to vehicles as a protection while driving.....but my 1st shield I fused it to has yet to break!!!
After defeating the single Yiga member w/ the red symbols, look around their camp for where Zonai parts are (I always find at least 2 metal spikes in each camp)........ Sometimes the spikes are a bit hidden so use Ultrahand to locate them.
This combo is amazing for me. It causes decent parry damage (+10) But the biggest thing (bug or working as intended IDK)..... I have YET to have my shield break!!!!
I have many really good shields, including several Sea Breeze from Amiibos & Bargainer buys. I have used the SAME shield for hours & it hasn't even reached the "blinking" warning yet.
Fusing a spring to the shield makes it also deflect proyectiles like big rocks too
Sure, but it's way more satisfying to use recall on them as soon as the enemy lets go of them
Putting a Ruby or Sapphire on a shield also gives you one tier of environmental protection, which is great
A ruby shield will also melt ice around you without needing to do anything
The luminous talus heart will produce light on a shield. The igneo/frost hearts will heat/cool respectively and you can parry to start fires.
Didn't think fusing shields onto weapons was great at first, but then I learned every shield has a hidden attack value for fusions, so they're actually a pretty solid option for balancing offence and defense with two-handed weapons.
In fact I'm starting to take a liking to using shield spears. Just a shame attacking also uses up the shield's durability.
Your spoiler advertise board is amazing :)
I love how much thought they put into this game :)
oh, second and third piece of advice- broken armor from enemies or spiked metal plates will damage enemies that attack you when fused to your shield, even if you just block and don’t parry. this makes farming the keese swarms that appear at night or that bust out of caves really easy: just put up your shield and wit for them to rush you at night, or just hold up your shield when entering a cave and if the keese come rushing out, all the ones that come in contact with your shield will poof, and you can gather up those much needed eyes and wings! easy peasy!
finally, try sky diving at night. it seems programmed into the game to make it more likely for a shooting star to fall next to you while diving, allowing you to catch them in the air. this has happened to me around half a dozen times now, and there are many vids of it happening, so it’s definitely not a fluke. definitely try this if you really need some falling star fragments.
I want to say the square stone slabs found in the depths are good fro making a shield better at shielding, but idk if it's really true. It kind of makes me wonder is such a shield would have the same resistances and weaknesses that stone objects you break open do? At least it blocks all forms of elemental damage.
I lost the one I had before I realized their effects, but Forest Dweller (Korok) weapons let you reuse fruits on them, I wonder if the shield can do the same with Puffshrooms?
Fuse a fallen star to your shield and it produces a decent amount of light for free. Its closer to a tier 1 glow effect so its minor, but it costs almost nothing to have it on your shield. I keep one on me for exploring and change shields for combat or surfing.
Adding a ruby to your shield basically gives you 1 layer of cold resistance and adding a sapphire to your shield gives you 1 layer of heat resistance. They stack with clothes because it works slightly differently - the gems actually change the temperature instead of lowering the threshold.
Makes it nice to be able to wear 1 less armor piece for temp and instead use an attack boost armor or whatever effect you want
Like Like stones actually make for excellent elemental AOE items! They're like a middle ground between a ChuChu jelly & a Gem! So ya, definitely worth attaching one to an arrow or just throwing it. The Shield thing sounds even more handy tho so they aren't just a one time use thing.
I haven't tried attaching one to a weapon yet, not sure if it's a one hit use thing on weapons or not.
Iirc, stuff like shock fruits [ and any other items that are "burst" type items when used] are one-hit items when on weapons.
The exception to this is the Forest Dweller weapons, which let burst items last multiple hits when attached before running out.
The best use I have found for the Korok Frond is a lightweight structural material that can be modularly disassembled just by picking up the frond. So my escape hoverbike is attached to the side ballast of my blimp base with a Korok Frond and it allows me to make my escape simply by standing on the control stick, pivoting to the frond, and pressing A twice to detach it and hop on the controls.
I actually liked the Zonai flashlight on the shield when roaming the darkness. sometimes you just need a bit of a spotlight to check if you're at a cliff, and it saves using bright blooms.
those ice blocks ar eridiculous. I made loads of them stuck together to cheese a shrine, or rather, freeze a shrine.
Wow you've got a lot more stamina than health! I've gone the other way in this one! Enemies hit super hard now!
I really need to start experimenting more in this game. I feel like I'm still playing it more like breath of the Wild. Thanks for the video!
I wish I could Fuze the monster statues you make at the town to weapons. I want to beat a monster down with himself.
Fusing a flier to your shield will give you a very silght increase in height when you try to do a shield surf after jumping. The height is not at all impressive BUT it is JUST enough height that the game will allow you to enter bullet time if you aim your bow! So it's a great way to freely and easily enter bullet bow time on demand, from the ground.
If you shield surf in the air with a wing attached to your shield you fly faster and when shield surfing you can do the slow mo bow thing idk what you call it
Does the meat shield do anything?
It increases durability by one
if you attach a gleeok horn to a shield you can use it to slice with a 30 damage elemental hit every parry
That "wee" sounded so nice.
wow i thought my skateboard was so cool then this dude came out with the HONEY, WHERE'S MY SUPERSUIT shield
Can you fuse a brightbloom seed to your shield? I haven't tried that yet.
Sled Shields are amazing for any smooth surface like the Depths or sand
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I guess I'm not as creative as I thought 😅
Fusing a water item onto a shield and surfing makes you go way faster and lose no durability for a time (like the rain)
Gems on shields can actually raise or lower your temps to stay warm, or cool. Not as much as a full armor set, but similar to carrying the torch in botw to stay warm.
Fusing rubies to your arrows gives you a RIDICULOUSLY op explosive arrow, sapphires give the same but for ice attacks (topaz presumably the same for electric attacks but i haven't tested)
Medium enemy spoilers below
You can kill a pack of gloom spawn with just one sapphire and two ruby arrows, freezing enemies gives you a massive multiplier so freeze them first then light then up, if you do it from high up enough you don't even need to leave bullet time, it's admittedly a really expensive way to deal with them but very useful if you need to take them out, be mindful to be at very long range though as you can and will get yourself doing it
Nice video 😀
Two things:
1st, are you absolutely sure that the shield/fan/glider combination DOES NOT assist you in-flight?
2nd, know that you can (also) fuse a frozen piece of meat to a shield to get a slippery (shield) surface. I didn't know (or consider) you could make an ice block/square from just throwing the ice fruit in water. That is a pretty great tip in itself. But then fusing it to your shield allowing for double-duty too? That is awesome! Thanks!!
This game is simply AMAZING!!!
fusing a rock to your shield means you can parry ore deposits. it breaks them instantly like the 2 handed rock weapons, but it's faster!
Damn i had done this is the shrine where you got fuse, and then forgot, thanks for the reminder 😂
Does it do less damage to your item? Should I be mining with a shield instead of a weapon?
@sirtaugs i dont think it does less damage to the shield and i'm not sure what the durability ratio is for rock weapons vs rock shields. i just do this because it's faster and it leaves more weapon inventory space for high damage stuff
If you attach a wing to a shield you actually jump farther when shield surfing fly faster and get more air time
I like fusing rocks to shields so I can bust through cracked boulders without having to switch to a hammer weapon or in case I don't have any more weapon slots or if i don't wanna waste bombs. Talus hearts are also great, and they reflect projectiles, are durable, and glow in the dark. If you pop on a korok frond or fan, you can also create gusts of wind.
Fusing a wheel to your shield causes it (the wheel) to spin, dealing 1 damage to enemies in contact with it.
This is different from spiked materials like spike balls and armor shards fused to a shield, which deal damage when an enemy attacks the shield.
I keep atleast 2 glider shields on me at all times for Lynels. You can shield surf jump to bullet time and shoot them in the face. I keep a level 175 sword on me that's about to break just for Lynels because weapons don't break while your on top of them.
@@spritsfal5088 A nearly broken royal guard claymore and silver lynel saber horn. You can make pristine Gerudo weapons in the 130s though without needing to almost break them because of the "strong fusion" perk that the weapons have. Also, if you fuse a gloom weapon to a non gloom weapon you will negate the gloom damage because you aren't technically holding the weapon. I've made a pretty ridiculous looking gloom spear boomerang.
