  Really underestimated in my opinion.
  
  Light as a small shield.
  Parries like a small shield.
  Mitigates like a normal shield.
  Stable like a normal shield.
  Looks good with that silver dragon.
  
  The only reason you wont pick this over a 100% block shield or a Grass Crest is cuz you are either a turtling coward, a stamina-thirsty beta, or are just parry garbage.

  A really amazing lightweight shield for people who don't want/need the Grass Crest Shield or the Heater Shield. 93% physical damage reduction is good enough for most encounters in the game (early game, mid game and even some situations in the late game). You know what sucks? They nerfed the hell out of this shield in Dark Souls 3! It only has 57% physical damage reduction in DS3, making it basically useless for blocking. Why would Fromsoft/Miyazaki do that?
