 * While it does not directly affect the debuff, the Shield blocks all of its side effects, rendering it mostly harmless against the player.
 * The post-Plantera Paladin's Shield offers an extra 2 defense and a multiplayer buff, but does not prevent common debuffs. As such, the Paladin's Shield may be slightly more advantageous for most boss battles.
 * Using an Obsidian Skin Potion renders the player immune to the On Fire! debuff, which the shield does not provide.
 * The Ankh Shield can synergize with the to block attacks, granting the Striking Moment buff.
