Underrated shield in my opinion, 1 less stability than Kite Shields, but 5% higher fire block. If you can spare the extra 1 weight it's a great choice.

Worthless shield that I have like 4 of on a single character.

Hilarious that over the years the incels on here rave about their sunbro and not killing Solaire, which in itself is admirable, but they hypocritically will murder Priscilla for her scythe and dagger. Worthless shits. Either murder both or neither but stop picking one over the other.

My favorite shield next to the Cleansing Greatshield. But it's just not worth killing Solaire for...

Unfortunately it weighs 4 while most standard mediums of similar stats weigh 3 making it a bit of a burden for weight conscious builds that like to extract the most from equipment and fastrole so it doesn't get used
There is this video called "Can NPCs beat Lord Gwyn ?" And Solaire can litery take half of Gwyn's health bar alone, going slightly better than Havel.
There's a lot of different people with different skills at games, and in the end Solaire is there for anyone who really needs help or maybe just wants to feel a little felloship in this piece of art but almost a dead game (I mean online)
