Overview
A sturdy shield wielded as an offensive/defensive weapon. One of the two unlockable main weapons.
Unlock — Unlockable later in the game — not chosen at start. Exact location/quest not yet documented in public sources. [uncertain]
Mechanics
Tap Attack to bash. Hold Attack to block. Bash exactly as you get hit to parry. The shield visibly cracks during use and can break in the heat of battle — watch the cracks. Wiki tip: don't be afraid to just tap forward when enemies approach, you might parry them.
