And in certain situations, a white die might be better than a red or blue since you can get two shields on a white die.
You're going to rarely see a white defense die, mostly from the coating upgrades when you're attacked with a specific type of weapon.

But statistically the average shield roll on a white die is 0.5, same as blue.

The white die is a weirdo chaos element in practice, but the math aligns nicely. I'm hoping the wrench on the red die gets some future love outside of weapon use.

The Devastator. 3R + 2W + 2 B plus some fixed damage.

That's /America's/ gun!

Whether you prefer R/B or W depends on what your tolerance for gambling is. They average out to the same results, but R and B are more reliable.

Being able to do something with wrenches on defense would be nice
