Large shields excel at sustained blocking and protecting against heavy hits, making them well suited for players who prefer a defensive, counter-attack playstyle.25292630With a base Guard Rate of 22 (scaling to 45 at max refinement) and Defense of 4 (up to 29), this shield can absorb a meaningful amount of incoming damage. Players should focus on timing their blocks to trigger Guard Counter attacks, which open up strong follow-up damage windows.27312832See Also29333034Shields - Complete list of all shields in Crimson DesertEquipment - Overview of all gear typesAbyss Cores - Socket gems that modify shield statsBlacksmith - Where to refine shields and other gear
