Default Re: Are Shields Worthless against AN Attacks

There are some edge cases. The Shield of Gleaming gold is still useful against melee AN Attacks, due to the awe effect. It doesn't matter if the attack is AN if they don't hit you with it first. The Vine Shield is good for basically the same reason, though it gets there through entanglement and not awe. Then there is the Lucky Coin. However your bog standard shield, Black Steel shield, Barrier, etc. are all basically worthless against AN. In some cases, they are actively counterproductive.
