# Target Shield

<div id="bkmrk-in-game-description-"><table><tr><td>![]()</td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></table>

### In-Game Description

---

*Small metal shield with protrusions.*

*Small shields are very light and easy to use,  
but have low stability when attacked.*

*The protrusions on the center of the shield  
are designed to brush attacks aside and  
make parrying easier.*

### Availability

---

*Dark Souls II* and *Scholar of the First Sin*: Behind an illusory wall in the Ruin Sentinels boss room in the Lost Bastille.

### Key

---

<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
- B is Magical 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. 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
- B is the Dexterity required
- C is the Intelligence required
- D is the Faith required

While it is possible to use a shield with lower-than-required Strength, your character will suffer a severe penalty to damage reduction.

</td></tr><tr><td>**Aux Effect:**</td><td>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:

- A is Poison Effect
- B is Bleed Effect

</td></tr><tr><td>**Aux Effect Reduction:**</td><td>The Aux Effect Reduction % of the shield. It dictates how much effect the shield mitigates while blocking.  
The Aux Effect Reduction % stats for a shield are A / B / C / D:

- A is Poison Effect
- B is Bleed Effect
- C is Petrify Effect
- D is Curse Effect
