A defensive off-hand option for Sword, Rapier and Mace builds. The current export confirms the localized record below, but not a numeric defense value or acquisition route.
Round Shield in-game description
If defense is the goal, nothing gets the job done better. Like any trusty shield, it allows for a brief moment of respite to clear the mind after deflecting an attack—before striking back in turn.
How to evaluate Round Shield
Dagger, Two-Handed Sword and Two-Handed Axe builds cannot use a shield, so check the weapon family before reserving this slot. Open the live equipment panel and compare the fields below against the piece already equipped; the saved set records the candidate name but does not invent a total.
- Defense and guard behavior: record the displayed value before changing equipment.
- Stamina cost while blocking: check whether the effect solves the current build problem.
- EX-Mods and enhancement level: compare the cost with the expected time you will keep the piece.
- Whether the active weapon supports a shield: confirm the choice works with the current weapon and quest.
Shield-compatible weapon classes
Dagger, Two-Handed Sword and Two-Handed Axe use movement rather than a shield. Saving Round Shield does not make it compatible with those classes.
