Key
| Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the shield does when used for bashing. The Damage stats for a shield are A / B / C / D / E:
Most shields deal Strike damage, with a few exceptions. |
| Counter Strength: | Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage. |
| Poise Damage: | The ability of the shield to break the poise of an enemy. |
| Durability: | The durability of the shield. The shield will break when durability reaches 0. |
| Weight: | The weight of the shield. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
Determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the shield effectively.
While it is possible to use a shield with lower-than-required Strength, your character will suffer a severe penalty to damage reduction. |
| Aux Effect: |
The Aux Effect stat dictates how effective the shield will be at causing the effect. The Aux Effect stats for a shield are A / B:
|
| Aux Effect Reduction: |
The Aux Effect Reduction % of the shield. It dictates how much effect the shield mitigates while blocking.
|
| Damage Reduction: |
The Damage Reduction % of the shield. It dictates how much damage the shield mitigates while blocking.
|
| Stability: | Determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher stability also allows you to block stronger attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks. |
