Best Mortal Shell 2 Seals for quick defence
You can equip any one of your Mortal Shell 2 Seals at a time, with each granting a unique guard ability during combat
Mortal Shell 2 Seals are part of your overall combat build, with each one offering unique defence abilities that deal Break Damage to enemies. With enough of this Break Damage dealt, shown by a gold bar beneath a foe's health bar, you can Riposte the enemy. A Riposte is a powerful attack animation that deals serious damage.
There’s a huge range of Mortal Shell 2 Seals to choose from, and the good news is that you can swap them out at any time, depending on who you’re going up against and which you like most. However, there are some that stand out among the selection, and I’ve listed the best Seals below.
Best Mortal Shell 2 Seals
The best Mortal Shell 2 Seal is the Vatra’s Seal, which you earn right at the beginning of the game. This early-game Seal grants the harden ability, allowing you to instantly harden against an incoming attack. Time it right, and this move also deals Break Damage to your enemy.
The reason this Seal is even better than later game Seals is because the ability is instant, as long as you have enough Resolve, but is also a little more generous on timing, too. Other Seals that deal greater damage tend to have smaller windows for Breaking and even longer animations, which make it hard to hit them consistently. Since you can prevent incoming attacks with your Seal, it helps to use the most immediate one available.
The most significant Seal is perhaps the Mortal Shell 2 Slayer Seal, which is an incredibly powerful item, ultimately reducing the game’s difficulty, but it comes at a cost, so we have a standalone guide explaining it.
Make sure you have the best Mortal Shell 2 Tarstones equipped alongside your Seal to make the most out of your build, and look out for the Mushroom Village key to pick up a new set of weapons.
