How this ranking works

  • Bases are sorted by their base energy shield before quality, runes and modifiers.
  • Implicit modifiers are shown under each name: a lower base with a useful implicit can be the better pick.
  • Level is the base's drop level, which is also the character level it requires.
  • Runeforged versions (Verisium Anvil, patch 0.5) are not ranked: they trade part of the base defence for Runic Ward. Bases that only exist as a unique item are left out.
