Notes

  • A light medium shield weighing 3 and requiring 8 Strength. Standard affinity blocks 91% physical damage and has 49 base Guard Boost.
  • Magic guarding is 49%, Lightning and Holy are 45%, and Fire is weaker at 36%. It is convenient early equipment, but repeated guarded hits can still chip away HP.
  • Comes with ordinary Parry. Can use compatible Ashes of War if you want a different parry or No Skill for a right-hand weapon skill.
  • Hero starts with this shield. Other classes can buy one from Kale for 600 runes, and a Hero can buy that separate shop copy as well.
  • Its Standard attacks scale with Strength. Holding it gives no passive damage reduction when an attack hits outside your guard or while you are not blocking.
  • Upgrade with Smithing Stones to +25. Defensive Shield Grease or a compatible shield-buff spell can improve guarding separately from offensive weapon coatings. Reinforcement does not remove chip damage from an incompletely blocked damage type.
