What is your favourite video game shield?

Gotta be Tower shields, anon. The more square the brick, the cooler it is.
Dark Souls 3 had my favorite, and the slide attack with it was great.

I actually hate shields and actively avoid them in every game. Literal pussyshit way of playing.

I only have two hands, so none.

Tower and Riot.

I'm a sucker for kite shields but I'd rather use the tower one irl

I really like round shields

heater is the classic

>>725064848 (OP)
what's the difference between round, buckler, and targe shields? They're all circles. And isn't riot & ballistic just the same as tower?

Now it's the heater when on horseback or the round shield on foot.

it's the sizes, a buckler is the smallest so it's the least amount of weight, round is bigger and large is bigger than that, this means you can block attacks while still being nimble

riot shields for projectiles and blunt force attacks, ballistic shields are for blasts, both of these shields are very heavy and placed in front of you

tower shields are for not being able to move at all but provide the most amount of protection

you can move but slowly, it's for defensive formations and protection from arrows, you can move up slowly towards enemy, but very cumbersome in a fight unless you use spears to poke from behind
