2222 The Thorny Warspike Large Shield is a large shield, offering wider frontal coverage when blocking compared to standard shields. This makes it effective against enemies with sweeping attack patterns or multiple projectiles. The trade-off is reduced mobility while guarding, so players should commit to their block timing rather than trying to reposition mid-guard.

2424 With a base Defense of 6, this shield provides strong damage absorption. Players can rely on sustained blocking against most enemies without worrying about their guard breaking too quickly. Pairing it with a fast one-handed sword or dagger creates a balanced loadout for tackling tougher encounters.

2626 The high Defense Efficiency of 20 means the Thorny Warspike Large Shield is particularly effective at mitigating damage per stamina point spent blocking. This makes it one of the more stamina-efficient shields available.
