### Key
---
**Damage:** | 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.
|
**Counter Strength:** | Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage. |
**Poise Damage:** | The ability of the shield to break the poise of an enemy. |
**Durability:** | The durability of the shield. The shield will break when durability reaches 0. |
**Weight:** | 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. |
**Stats Needed:** | 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.
|
**Aux Effect:** | 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
|
**Aux Effect Reduction:** | 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
|
**Damage Reduction:** | The Damage Reduction % of the shield. It dictates how much damage the shield mitigates while blocking.
The Damage Reduction % 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
|
**Stability:** | Determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher stability also allows you to block stronger
attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks. |
