'''Name:''' Summon Shield Imp<br />

(Note Super-Elites can crush the imp in a single turn regardless of hit points remaining and it only works in PvE).<br />

==User Notes==
This buff is really only useful if you are 1-hitting your monsters. This is because the imp will block '''all''' hits for you, including those that wouldn't have hurt you in the first place. If you are two-hitting your creatures, expect to loose 1 imp health point per combat...

The above is not true if your two+ hit setup has sufficient defense that the creature cannot hit you.  If you use a defense based setup the imp is still very useful as it will only lose HP on the 2% random "lucky hits".  You can further improve the usefulness of the imp + defense set up by using high-powered buffs/potions such as wither, spectral knight, shatter armor, deathwish, or shield strike, which may enable you to one-hit when they trigger.
