How To Use Wing Shield & Stats

Aim For Weakness Using Bow Slowmotion Even In The Flat Ground

Fusing to Shield does not directly deal damage, but it can be used to activate Bow Slowmotion even in the flat ground. It is very useful for attacking as it makes it easier to aim for the weakness of fast-moving enemies and create a chance to attack.

Explanation Of Weapon Variable

Each Weapon Has Different Base Damage

In TOTK, there are variables that affect the base damage of each weapon, and depending on the weapon the displayed attack and damage dealt are different. So keep in mind weapons type such as spear has lower base attack than displayed attack.

Tips!!	Having said that, the spear is still the best weapon type in this series considering Link's motion for each weapon. Claymore's charged attack and ride attack is very effective in some situations, so try using weapon suited for each situation.
