### Notes

---

- Essentially a better Drangleic Shield. More weight but better all around. Also doesn't require Twinkling Titanite to upgrade.

- Has similar stats to the Old Knight's Shield. The differences being more damage, better strength scaling, higher durability,  
    lower stability, lower weight, and a lower strength requirement. In short, if you can afford the higher STR requirement, the Old Knight's Shield  
    is a slightly better shield to use overall. 
    - Another major difference is the Drakekeeper's Shield doesn't gain as much damage reduction from being infused compared  
        to the Old Knight's Shield, most notably when infused with Dark.

</td></tr><tr><td>**Counter Strength:**</td><td>Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage.</td></tr><tr><td>**Poise Damage:**</td><td>The ability of the shield to break the poise of an enemy.</td></tr><tr><td>**Durability:**</td><td>The durability of the shield. The shield will break when durability reaches 0.</td></tr><tr><td>**Weight:**</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>**Stats Needed:**</td><td>Determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the shield effectively.  
The requirement stats for shields are A / B / C / D:

- A is the Strength required
