Why it is rated B

Trusty Shield is a normal Boon from Hephaestus. Defensive value protects progress and makes unfamiliar encounters more repeatable.

Use it when: Take it when survival is the current limit or the build already has enough damage.
Limit: Too much defense can leave bosses and timed encounters underpowered.
If it is absent: Take a compatible core damage boon if the current Life buffer is already comfortable.
