Backpedaling is key to both survival and DPS here. It makes protect and serve viable and safer in so many more situations, which means far more reliable blocking and more use out of the fire rate bonus the ability provides. When using protect and serve, make sure to hold backpedal when spamming riot shotgun so that you move backwards in between the recovery frames. Enemies like to try and move past your shield while you're blocking to hit you for full damage, but the backpedaling will keep most enemies out of range of your main hitbox so that you block all of their attacks. Enemies with larger attack hitboxes like sandcrabs require you to backpedal a little extra in between attacks for you to block them properly. Be mindful of homing attacks, bad positioning will allow them to bypass your shield. Crowd control can be mixed in with riot shotgun no problem, but shield slam will leave you immobile during its animation so you need to be careful there. Also, with your shield up while standing right on the ledge of a floating platform or cliff edge, or with your back against a wall, enemy AI generally isn't allowed to try and move past you...Which means you can literally sit still and block most attacks. Pretty nifty character.
