Target Shield

In-Game Description

Small round metal shield.
Four protrusions used to parry attacks.

Small shields are always less stable, but
landing critical hits after parry is easier.
This shield is specialized for parrying.

Availability

Starting shield for the Thief class

Found in the lower section of Undead Burg with the Thief Set from the room near Capra Demon

Undead Assassin drop

General Information

This shield has a special parrying animation with a longer parrying window, similar to the Buckler and Parrying Dagger.
The parry window is 8 frames instead of the regular 6.

Key

Damage:	The Damage stat dictates how much damage the shield does when used for bashing. All shields have Blunt physical damage, apart from the Spiked shield's Slashing damage, but it is also more of a weapon than a shield. Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types.
Damage Reduction %:	The Damage Reduction % of the shield. It dictates how much damage the shield mitigates while blocking. The Damage Reduction % stats for shields are W / X / Y / Z: W is Physical Damage X is Magical Damage Y is Fire Damage Z is Lightning Damage
Stability:	Determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher stability also allows players to block stronger attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks.
Durability:	The durability of the shield. The effectiveness of the shield will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%.
Weight:	The weight of the shield. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Weight will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned.
Requirements:	Determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the shield effectively. The requirement stats for shields are W / X / Y / Z: W is the Strength required X is the Dexterity required Y is the Intelligence required Z is the Faith required While it is possible to use a shield with lower-than-required Strength, the character will suffer a severe penalty to stability, thus making it easier to break their guard.
