Shields

Shields are used by almost everyone in Medivia. Some Rangers choose to save cap and not carry shield for improved safety. Except those who choose to carry a crossbow, bow or another two-handed weapon like the Giant Sword.

Carrying a shield allows you to block some attacks from Monsters or other players (excluding distance weapon/ammunition attacks from rangers, as they pierce shields), and that will improve your shielding skill.

The strongest shield on Medivia is the Blessed Shield, and the strongest on Novus is the Bone Shield.
