*When infused with Magic: 60 physical dmg/66 magic dmg, with Fire: 80 physical dmg/80 Fire dmg, with Lightning: 80 physical dmg/89 Lightning dmg
"Small, leather-covered round shield, reinforced in critical spots with metal.
Small shields are always less stable, but landing critical hits after parry is easier."
Acquired from:
- Purchase from the Undead Merchant for 600 Souls.
- Initial equipment for Sorcerer.
- Video Location Timestamp 1:02
Hints and Tips:
- Weighing at only 0.5 units this is the lightest Shield in the game.
- Due to the above factor it can potentially be used to maintain fast-rolling with heavier equipment just be wary of it Stability and damage resistances.
- Considering its weight its stats are quite well off although lacking the 100% damage resist. It is more suited for a player wanting to maintain fast-rolling and parrying if possible rather then defending.
- Has "Fast" type parrying.

AnonymousExcellent option for those weapons that actually want a shield(Silver knight spear, Pike, Estoc), where you can't just use your fist to parry but don't to waste stats on more endurance

Very useful if you want a shield but don't want weight. IF you have 40 end, you will be able to block a lot with this and fap ring. Just make sure to get it to +10 at least
- Anonymous
This is as light as shields get, perfect if you're used to the fast parry of the heater shield but need to shed some weight.
- Anonymous
I like this shield because of the looks and how effective is for parrying. I think it fits well with the chain armor set.

Fantastic for when you want a shield, but don't want to have to account for the weight of a shield
- Anonymous
Great little shield this. The lightest and just very handy to equip as a "get out of jail" shield for occasions when you get cornered or need to parry with confidence that a shield brings without getting bogged down by a heavy shield. Pleasantly effective at blocking elemental attacks too
my favorite shield in the game, it's super light and works wonders for parrying, and even though it doesn't have the best stabillity in the world, it has pretty good stats for it's weight.
