#REDIRECT [[Detailed Equip Characteristics#Shields]]
 
Shields are notable for their ability to block attacks (physical, magic, and spirit) which can allow a player to [[Counter-Attack]].
 
There are three types of shields (Bucklers, Kite Shields, and Tower Shield), each with differing stats:
 
*'''Bucklers''' typically have the lowest burden and interference stats of the shields, but they also typically have the lowest physical/magic mitigation. They make up for it with mitigation to specific damage types which Kite and Tower shields do not have.
*'''Kite Shields''' are between Bucklers and Tower shields in their stats. They provide an option for increased block and defense stats without the higher burden and interference of Tower shields.
*'''Tower Shields''' have the highest burden and interference stats of the shields, but they also typically have the highest block rates and physical/magic mitigation.
