Why Vanguard's Buckler is S tier
S
Held by a Vanguard, its 200 Max Health and 30 Defense double. No published comp lists it and only a few runs have held it, but those runs beat every other Unique item, so the S is provisional.
Each item is compared with the items that reach you at the same point of a run, across the runs players share, and with the strongest published comps. Reviewed on patch 0.5.12; the whole ranking is on the item tier list.
