''Primary Stat''[[File: Shield_Gear_Basics.png|350px|thumb]]Shields are secondary [[:Category:Weapons|weapons]] for the [[Squire]] and the [[Countess]]. The stats will always consists of Armor as the primary stat and [[:Category:Heroes#Health|Hero Health]]{{stub}}as the secondary stat. These weapons also holds two [[Shards]] slots but doesn't have any slots for M.O.D.S.

[[Category:Weapons]]== Usage ==Shields are meant to be used for the Squire/Countess' secondary attack Block - when utilized, any frontal damage dealt to the player will be reduced by 35% and hero's speed will be slowed to a crawl. However, this eventually becomes very ineffective during the late game where the players will be better off always moving and attacking rather than blocking as the enemies gets extremely ferocious. The only reason most players would utilize Block these days is when they have an Unholy Fire shard equipped which allows the Squire or Countess to become a walking flamethrower while Block is being used. That said, while the damage of the Unholy Fire isn't that bad, most wouldn't use it for serious progression as it's still heavily outclassed by much stronger hero builds. It's generally regarded more of a fun addition. Basically, this result in the shield's main usage primarily becoming a stat boost to a hero's health and armor which would help them to be a little more tankier when fighting hordes of enemies. =Stat Ranges={{Shield Stats}}
