Is Pioneering Worth It?

Not Worth It

Pioneering allows its wearer to restore HP when breaking enemy shields. Generally, you'll want your DPS to break shields to trigger their respective Break Effects. With this, it's not worth it to upgrade Pioneering since better 3-star alternatives like Amber exists!
