Shields are Equipment that are equippable by Adventurers for even more armor capabilities as well as reducing damage taken from enemies. Adventurers wearing shields gain many benefits:
- higher Gear Score
- increased armor defense
- gain a chance to block incoming enemy attacks
- reduce the amount of damage taken from incoming enemy attacks
Better-quality shields can also can boost the Adventurer's Attributes and other stats.
The downside to shields is that they are equipped in the off-hand slot, which means Adventurers are limited to one-handed weapons.
Types of Shields[ | ]
Shields come in two varieties, each usable by a certain subset of classes.
Light Shield[ | ]
Light shields are lightweight all-purpose shields that give your Adventurer a chance to block incoming enemy attacks that would otherwise hurt a lot. Great for scrappy Adventurers who like getting into knock-down-drag-out dungeon brawls!
