  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.

  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.

  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
