Shield Type	Shield Type Description
Light Shield	For parrying attacks with less protection.
Medium Shield	For blocking attacks with stability.
Large Shield	For blocking attacks with less stability.

Factors in Choosing Shields

Here are factors to consider when picking up your shield equipment:

Factor	Factor Description
Stat Requirement	Consider character stats since it scales with a shield’s Guard stats. This will influence how your character will effectively use a shield.
Shield Weight	Consider the weight of the shield since it will affect the Equip Burden.
Playstyle	Consider the playstyle since it influences which type of shield to use. Large shields are for parrying while Medium and Large shields are for blocking.
Guard Boost	Consider the amount of Stamina used for blocking attacks. The higher the Stamina, the more incoming attacks can be blocked.
Damage Reduction	Consider the damage reduction for each damage type. For example, you can block all Physical attacks with a 100% Physical Damage Reduction. Anything less than 100% will be inflicted on your character as chip damage while blocking attacks.
