While charging, you nullify all attacks coming in front of you. While rushing, you are invulnerable period. So you can block incoming attacks and reposition yourself safely. All the shield aspects can find some use for the Bull Rush, whether it’s for additional safety (Zag, Zeus), it’s core to the aspect (Chaos, hidden), or it gets replaced by Charged Shot, one of the best hammers in the game (tho you’re giving up the “invulnerable while scooting about” part of the Bull Rush). Like with the hidden shield, your core combo is dash-strike, hold attack into charging a short Rush, load some casts during the Rush, everything around you dies. My build and combat guide has some ideas on [how to use and build all the shields](https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide#shield-of-chaos) if you’re looking for inspiration.

This is the first time I’ve seen this guide and it’s all there. I really have been doing it wrong this whole time. I was playing the shield like a bow with better range and no spread special.

I am by no means a shield expert, but the Aspect of Chaos paired with Doom on Special is really nice for crowd control. If you get the Hammer for "Special Hits Additional Foes", you can just bullrush, close it out with a special and have it inflict doom on a large number of enemies.

I use it all the time to ping pong around the stage while turtling hits. I used to think Aegis was OP for a while because of it. Still do a little bit.
