Balance shield properties more consistently

Shield Rebalance

🎮 **Shield Balance Major Improvement** - Make your shield selection more diverse and practical!

✨ Module Features

This mod rebalances all shields in two ways:

🌟 **Significantly reduced strength requirements** - No more overinvesting in strength attributes just to use a shield

🌟 **Uniform Defense and Weight** - Let the same type of shield have consistent defense and weight, making it easier for you to choose based on appearance

💡 *Note: This mod does not change the elemental or attribute resistance of the shield, it only adjusts the weight, demand, defense power and physical absorption rate*

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
