KeyEdit
- Name
- Names displayed are according to the Atlus (NA) version of the game. Name changes from the Asian version, if any, will appear in parentheses.
- 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 X / Y / Z:
- X is Physical Damage
- Y is Magical Damage
- Z is Fire Damage
- Guard Break Reduction
- The Guard Break Reduction determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher Guard Break Reduction also allows you 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 your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.
- Requirements
- The 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:
- While it is possible to use a shield with lower-than-required Strength , your character will suffer a severe penalty to Guard Break Reduction, thus making it easier to break your character's guard.
