- Trigger them before fighting big packs.
- Read what each shrine buffs.
- Chain shrines through a dense area for value.
- Do not go out of your way for a weak shrine.
- Use shrine buffs to clear faster overall.
Key tips

Practical notes
Shrines grant temporary buffs during a map, so grab them when the bonus fits your build, like attack or cast speed. Avoid breaking a shrine early if the buff is strong for the fight ahead.
Some shrines are defensive, so use them before a boss. Learn which shrine helps your style and route toward it. A timely shrine buff can swing a tough pack or boss in your favor.
