So what's the difference between this and regular shield bash? Does this gain any advantages over it?
Is this buffed by the Roar Medallion/Highland Axe? I’ve always wanted to do a more aggressive axe and shield build with the Highland Axe and this seems like a perfect match if so. Thanks!

The numbers here are incorrect for upgrades.
At +10 it's B scaling.
Hits for about 800 in the dlc, that's on the low end but it's a medium shield so it's a decent blocking love tap.

Gotta hate how sensitive quests are, you talk to NPC's in the wrong order and you miss a whole quest. It's like Fromsoft wants people to spoil themselves and look up guides before experiencing the game organically. This design especially doesn't work for Elden Ring because of the open world nature, legit missed this because I gave the scroll to the guy before talking to Freja.

Yes, it is missable. You need the letter from Ansbach, and if you never tell him about Freyja before progressing his questline he disappears without the letter.

You can miss this if you do not come back to freyja after receiving the letter, I came back to this after figuring out this existed and instead found freyja gone and left her set at the seventh floor grace

What’s particularly troublesome about the Elden Ring Questlines compared to other Fromsoftware titles is the translations are so bad in this for some reason that I had almost no idea what characters wanted from me when they would write me those notes.
