The Shield is a guard-focused melee weapon. Like the Sealed Portrait, it offers excellent defensive capabilities, but it is easier to attack with compared to the Sealed Portrait. This makes it a more user-friendly option, even for beginners.
Shield - Strengths and Weaknesses
How to Use the Shield
The Shield increases Guard by 30 just by equipping it, making it highly recommended to equip one in the early game when your Armor is still weak and increasing Guard is difficult. However, its Attack is low, which can make defeating enemies harder, so it's a good idea to equip a Wheel Blade or Hammer in your other hand.
Shield's Normal Attack
Attacks by thrusting the Shield forward. It is a single-hit attack and cannot land consecutive hits, but the attack is fast and can be used repeatedly like the Hammer.
Shield's Deathblow
Deploys the Shield in all directions, nullifying all attacks for about 2 seconds. Use it when a boss unleashes a powerful attack or when you're surrounded and in a tight spot.
Shield's Counterattack
Unleashes a Counterattack that rushes forward. Depending on the weapon, the Counterattack may fail to connect if you're far from the enemy, but the Shield's Counterattack is easy to land because it rushes a long distance forward. It also deals more Damage than a Normal Attack, so you should actively aim to trigger Counterattacks.
