2424 As a large shield, the Rekel Large Shield offers higher Guard Rate and Defense compared to standard shields, at the cost of slower movement and attack speed while equipped. Large shields excel at sustained blocking and protecting against heavy hits, making them well suited for players who prefer a defensive, counter-attack playstyle.
