Secondary: Easy to get, provides a good amount of Wep Attack and Luck, and still counts towards Shield Mastery. Downside, can't be star forced.
Shield: Can be Star Forced, meaning it can provide a lot more Luck than secondaries can, and provides some Defense, for what it's worth. Downside, much harder to come by (Fearless Wristguard at this point only comes from the monk demon, Deimos Shadow Shield is exclusive to recipes that god knows where they come from, and VIP Thief Shield is locked behind random chance in Alien Visitors dungeon), and also provides no Wep Attack without potential.

I'm wondering, which is better for Reboot Shadower? Since we can't get the Dragon Khanjar, a Shadower kinda needs to pick between one or the other as opposed to stalking every shop in the FM for a Khanjar.

    Does it still? I thought they removed all Reverse/Timeless drops from Pink Beans drop list?
    Probably still easier to do demon monk guy since the pres aren't atrociously long and he can be beaten at a reasonable level.

    Not that temple boss the level 145 place, oh yeah the monk guy, he drops the timeless shield, after you max it out in growth, it is better than the secondary.

    Oh. That's what I meant by demon monk. Also what he drops is Fearless equipment/weapons, which is even better than Timeless equips.

    Shield is better than secondary because you can gain a lot of main stat due to starforce. Also good for Legion system or training more efficiently in star force map at SH or omega sector.
