- For other uses, see Shields.
Shields are handheld pieces of armor used to deflect blows from enemy melee attacks. Blocking attacks with them will reduce, but does not negate the damage the Fugitive will receive.
Shield types[]
Despite the game not naming them, shields, like all pieces of armor can be divided into two classes. One class offers a very high armor rating, but not anything else, while the other provides lighter protection in favor of higher block rating for two types of damage, physical or elemental. It is also possible for some shields belonging to the latter class to offer regeneration to one of the player's stats.
These bonuses are specific to the material the shield is made from. While some materials include both of the armor classes, some will only belong to one category.

Enchantments[]
Tips[]
- The shields with higher armor rating are essentially more versatile, as they are stronger in general than a light shield. Light shields are, as such, more suited for specialized situations because of their specific bonuses.
- Shields can be enchanted with certain damage types, making them great weapons for dealing with enemies.
- Stamina enchantments can help with enemies that attack frequently, as well as with crippling abilities.
Trivia[]
- Shields have block and damage values instead of armor rating.
