Heater Shield | Dark Souls Wiki

Awesome shield for my pure int build. Made it +15 and and cast magic shield, even Manus will have trouble with this little beauty. And if you don't like the look just get a mod with the dragon design :3

Objectively the best gameplay mechanics value for a shield and it isn't close.

But, often has a negative impact on your Fashion stat.

I want to **** this shield

This shield has some bullet marks on it

Best shield for <10 STR, 100 phys, more stability than a crest shield when upgraded, makes your filthy dex build surprisingly tanky

smash. next question

If i could marry this shield, i would.

Heater Shield my beloved

Submit

Only downside is I don't like how it looks, I typically stick to Dragon Crest for that sole reason

Submit

Very good shield but I prefer silver night shield I think is the best medium shield with great stability

Submit

To keep the undead merchant alive next character i make, just so i can make crystal versions of this weapon, or to drop the shield and just murder the undead merchant for that snazzy katana... Tough choice!

Hello my dear black knight
See how this tiny thing parries your fabolous wonderful mighty extremly overpowered ultra greatsword

This is easily the best shield in the game, while statically there are superior shield for every other stat this one has stat requirements that allow any of the starting classes to use it. It's stability is SHOCKINGLY high for it's weight, not only that but it also has 100% physical block and a fast parry speed. Remember that this weighs less than the Crest and Dragon Crest Shield. Also you don't need to use a Titanite Slab on it because it's Stability doesn't go up at +15, freeing that precious upgrade material for something more important.

Plus it does a great job at blocking elements for it's weight, sure it's Magic damage block is pretty lackluster at 30%, it's Fire damage block is great and it's Lightning damage block is respectable.

Another nice thing is that this can be used viably as Crystal because you can buy as many of them as you need, sure it's costly in the long run, but this puts it immediately as the +14 Standard Stability of 68.

Overall this Shield is a must have for lightweight characters as despite it's size and weight it punches far above (figuratively) what it should for being one of the shields of a starting class, even then pretty much any character can make great use of this thing.

Perfect choice if you want 100% physical resistance and very decent protection from fire while maintaining fast parrying ability. One of the top shields in the game far more superior than any of those little crappy light shields.

What's the best upgrade path for a dex build? Thx I advance.

This shield is literally the best shield (overall) in the game. I just blocked 2 of the Silver Knight sword slashes with my pyromancer pure dexterity build ~SL40 with NO POINTS in endurance at all (11 base endurance for pyromancer) and my stamina didn't dry up, still had 10% left. Great combusted the ****er's ass to oblivion. Recommended.

Submit

This is an awesome little shield. It was the only one my high endurance dex build could use while staying at 25% for the fast roll and it has not let me down. Blocks all basic attacks and I use my roll for more powerful attacks, haven’t even upgraded it.

Best shield

The fire numbers are different in remastered. They made it weaker.

Awesome for a sorc

Submit

Here it says "Lightest 100% physical shield in the game.", but on this wiki Spider Shield is also 100% physical and it's weight is 1.5

Submit

Perhaps that's why the crestfallen warrior is such a parry king.

Submit

Why does a 100% damage block shield have a fast parry speed? I wonder if that is a bug that will be fixed in the remaster.

Submit

A solid and light shield that can purchased from undead trader early on in game and definitely worth getting as it blocks 100% physical damage while also being the lightest shield to do so.. ugly as fuk though
