      The higher level of deflection means this shield can capably block attacks that would normally stagger a medium class shield; Think big meaty clubs and ultra greatswords. It can be nice when you aren't very familiar with an enemys attack patterns, but keep in mind too that the types of attacks this shield can deflect are also the kinds of attacks that are pretty easy to just dodge or even walk out of the way of.
