The Chaos Shield Left Buff is a status effect related to the Chaos Shield item. It represents one half of the two-part Chaos Shield system.

• The buff has two states: “ready” and “not ready”
• When ready, it can block the next incoming attack (based on chance)
• After blocking, it transitions to the “not ready” state
• The buff automatically recharges over time until it's ready again
• The Chaos Shield is split into two parts: left (this buff) and right (another buff)

• Shield Ready: When in the ready state, has a chance to block incoming attacks reducing damage taken
• Shield Not Ready: When not ready, the buff is in a cooldown state and cannot block attacks
• Damage Reduction: When blocking occurs, damage is reduced based on the shield's level

• Applied when using the Chaos Shield item
• Part of the two-part shield system created when fusing Chaos Staff with an item
