Compared to high-tiered shields, this shield gives an extra second of stun and costs 10 MP less. However, it only has two shots, requiring precise aiming. While each shot deals the highest damage of any shield, the total damage is comparable to the Tier 4 Golden Shield. The stat bonus is 2 DEF lower than the Tier 5 Mithril Shield, but provides 2 SPD and 2 ATK, which is good because Knights have high defense as is.
This is the safest shield in the game, for not only does it stun at a higher range and for a longer time, but for a cheaper cost also. Its shots also pierce Armor, making it useful for enemies with higher defense, such as the Stone Guardians and Avatar of the Forgotten King and his minions in the Shatters. Overall, this shield is most useful for situations in where the Knight would have a hard time initiating a chain stun, like the Wine Cellar or Tomb of the Ancients.
This shield does take a bit of getting used to; It’s easier to miss your target, and if you’re used to just a tiered shield, you have to adjust to the 4 second stuns. Paired with a maximized Legendary Pet, you should be able to chain stun by yourself.
