Maxing shielder is a long term goal though. Her ascensions come from completing story chapters. She becomes 4 star only near the end of Camelot....which is a super hard stage. Prioritize other 4 stars or 5 stars when you get them. Be conservative with materials until you can hoard a lot of them. Shielder is a great support but even at 4 stars, her hits remain average at best and she gets killed fast by high level mobs/bosses. Her best skill is her np boost shield skill but don't expect her to survive long enough to cast that more than once.

Cu's "immortality" comes from him having both guts and a good evade. You can activate evade first, which should last him a few rounds, activating guts after it ends, rinse and repeat. Be wary of his guts only lasting 5 rounds. You may want to save it for a period when he's really at risk of dying b4 activating it. He's still weak to sabers though, and new mobs like the bees and the eyeball midboss have a bullseye skill that lets them pierce evade.
