When to use it

Turns the chase into a loop by bringing shield bash back fast enough to keep permanent pressure.

Builds using this

• Mercenary — Parry Sword & Shield, solo — Master Deemo explains it at 19:00
  The last stage of shield dash reduces skill cooldowns when it hits an enemy player. This is what turns the chase into a loop — shield bash comes back up fast enough to keep pressure permanently.
• Mercenary — Sword & Shield, Chaos — Firebox explains it at 03:00
  The last hit of Shield Dash reduces its cooldown — “we really need it for range classes.”
