Choosing a profession

When to choose Steady Hand

Shields and damage from Fighting Will

Each Fighting Will stack builds a shield based on Attack. While the shield holds, Steady Hand deals more damage. This helps Strength attackers survive while building their damage.

Best fit

Primary or off-tank damage dealers who attack consistently and want to reduce the pressure on their healer.

What you need

Keep some shield after taking a hit to retain the damage bonus. Repeated shield breaks cut into both benefits.

Where it struggles

The route has less value if the wearer never takes damage, loses the full shield to one hit, or needs maximum low-HP burst.

Before you advance

Can you generate Fighting Will fast enough to maintain shields?
Will this crewmate actually take enough damage to use the shields?
Do you need survival or Heavy Hitter’s higher damage ceiling?
