<table><tr><td>**Damage:**</td><td>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:

- A is Physical Damage

- C is Fire Damage
- D is Lightning Damage
- E is Dark Damage

Most shields deal Strike damage, with a few exceptions.  
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.

</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.

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.
