Shield Types

Bucklers

Small Punch-Gripped shields used for knocking back weapons to leave the opponent vulnerable and surprised, while this weapon is very powerful it is useless in the wrong hands.

Target Shields

A light shield made for classical dueling and hunting, Target shields can be used similarly to a buckler if intended, but can still decently block damage. this shield is perfect for those who can't afford or wield larger shields.

Round Shields

Round Shields are affordable and sturdy shields that have been used for centuries. Round shields are generally large and thin but have very strong frames. Round Shields are mostly for blocking hits but can still effectively parry despite requiring very swift and strong arms to do so.

Heater Shields

Fairly small but extremely thick shields, very effective at blocking damage, but unremarkable for durability and shock absorption. Heater shields are generally used by mercenaries and Landsknecht.

Kite Shields

Common Shields effective for both parrying and damage adsorption, these shields have a wide range of coverage and many uses, there is no "common" design for kite shields as they have changed many times.

Pear Shields

Long Thin Shields made for blocking bolts and arrows, these shields have large coverage but somewhat low damage absorption compared to most, although when made of metal these shields are considered kings of warfare.

Square Shields

Extremely thick and heavy shields used for blocking spears and heavy weapons.

Tower Shields

The biggest type of Shield known for combat, commonly paired with spears due to they're low mobility, Tower Shields are more akin to walls than shields. nearly unbreakable and amazing stabile, the tower shield can cover the user's whole body.
