The Artisan's Ornamented Shield has 2 Abyss Core slots, allowing players to customize the shield with passive bonuses. Cores can be socketed or removed at no cost through a witch NPC, making it easy to experiment with different setups.
Fortification I (Defense +3): A straightforward defense boost that helps offset this shield's base defense.
Fortitude I (Guard Stamina Consumption -3.0%): Reduces stamina drained when blocking, making sustained defense more efficient.
Aegis I (Damage Reduction 1.0): Provides flat damage reduction per hit, useful for absorbing chip damage from enemy combos.
The Artisan's Ornamented Shield is a standard one-hand shield that balances defensive stats with mobility. Standard shields are lighter than large shields, allowing for quicker movement and attack transitions during combat.
The Movement Speed bonus makes this shield well suited for players who favor a hit-and-run approach to combat. Quicker repositioning allows you to dodge area attacks and close distance on ranged enemies more effectively.
At base Defense 3, the shield scales to 15 at max refinement. Refinement should be prioritized if you plan to keep this shield as your primary defensive option for an extended period.
