2121 The 2 core slots allow customization with Abyss Cores to tailor the shield's bonuses to specific combat situations or builds. Players might consider slotting defensive cores for additional survivability or utility cores that complement the shield's strengths. Cores can be embedded or removed through a witch NPC at no cost, making experimentation easy.

2525 The Thalwynd Large Shield offers moderate defense at DEF 4 without any speed modifiers. As a large shield, it provides extended blocking coverage compared to standard shields, making it useful against enemies with wide sweeping attacks. Its defense is lower than some other large shields like the Balton Large Shield (DEF 6) or Lifsoth Large Shield (DEF 8), so it may serve better as a stepping stone while the player works toward those higher-tier options. The two core slots allow Abyss Core customization, and refinement at a Blacksmith increases base defense. The crafting cost of Timber x20 and Fine Timber x5 is slightly higher than Vol. 1 shield recipes. This reflects its position as a Vol. II recipe.
