Shield of Night | Elden Ring Wiki

This Shield reminds me spell, which was used by Void against Scull Knight during Eclipse (Berserk Manga).

It can be buffed by shield grease.

Submit

Give it 95-100% magic defense and it would be amazing

Submit

Now we need a Shield of Fire

Submit

What if you could hold the ash so you could continue to keep the shield in front of you while having it act sort of like Eternal Darkness but it deletes incoming magics. I had this idea because when you do the ability you actually get guard frames when you push the shield in front of you.

Submit

You can buff the shield

Looking glass shield if it was good

The "all small shields" section on this page is listing the greatshields instead for some reason.

i wish it gave a 25% (5% smaller than the staff of loss´ 30%) buff to night sorceries while equipped in the off-hand. i rly want to make a 3rd "swordhand" of night sorcer assassin style rp character with these items but "dual-wielding" staffs of loss is simply better when focusing on night magic

Through testing, the skill as buffed by Alexanders jar shard. NOT buffed by curved sword talisman.

I had much fun using this on duels and pve, but it feels a bit underwhelming when you start to think about the range these projectiles can travel.

Submit

Does the Curved Sword Talisman work on this shields Ash of War?

Submit

For a magic-mirror shield i like it. I DONT like the 20 foot range. Mages casting me far away and im trying to reflect like a toddler kicking rocks

Submit

Close enough, welcome back Loch Shield.

I love how all of you keep demanding the shield be bigger with better boost and physical negations or whatever, but like... The Tree Sentinel Shield existed since Launch. This is just meant to serve as a more proactive tool since this can proc off of ANYTHING and having more buff support since it's magic damage at the cost of chip damage and not just a counter to spells like the reactive style Sentinel Shield's spell parry. Y'all literally have your cake and and get to eat it, but your mad it's the wrong flavor.

Submit

This thing is like a black hole that spits whatever gets trapped inside back out, but supercharged.

Submit

Wow what a great buff. Almost as good as a weapon block now

Submit

Skill's very fun to use, but you definitely need to build for it...mostly for the mediocre guard boost rather than the defenses, really.

Submit

Should be a medium or Greatshield, heavier with better blocking, either give actual 100 physical or just better stamina guard

Submit

This should have been a parry Ash.

Submit

Buffed across the board LFG

Submit

In pvp with the deflect tear this is devastating when used correctly, up to 1k deflects, can be used to punish hosts and phantoms for blindly throwing a dragon breath or spamming comets. Basically gives you something resembling the old carian retaliation back.

Submit

why did they choose to make this a small shield?
it would've looked much cooler as a medium or big shield like the looking glass knight ds2,,,
more importantly, it would've given it 100 block negation and make the skill actually practical.

Submit

I'm sure Jolan served Ymir his favorite eggs benedict at supper time on this plate.

Submit

This would be so good if the damage returned was the full amount of damage received, the same type, same status build, no matter what it was. A full stop in PVP against some STRength builds and multihit builds, caster counter, everything. All of a sudden players have to get a little creative with you.

In PVE, it would be a great way for casters to trade against aggressive melee bosses and an interesting option in place of blocking or dodging normally

The single best way to deal with dragon breath spammers with deflecting tear

Submit

Correction: you don't need to jump off onto the bridge first, you can just keep standing on the lift and it'll take you up.

Submit

This could use a buff but otherwise a solid tool. Maybe just enhanced guard boost against attacks that deal elemental damage

Submit

it's so little .... i wish this was a medium shield with decent blocking stats.

Submit

Finally, a weapon to counter wandering nobles.

Submit

I bet this goes hard with the deflecting hardtear.

Submit

finally, dex magic

Submit

If you use it without guarding first it does almost no damage. It’s worthless to use it instead of a guard counter since a guard counter is going to do more damage. I can think of only two reasons to use this shield. If you’re a caster and want something to “guard counter” with or to “guard counter” spells from afar. If you’re looking to do the latter, I’d say you’re much better off with Carian Retaliation. Parrying spells is actually super easy. This shield is extremely niche. I don’t see it getting much use.

Submit

skill should've been a parry that automatically fires the projectile if successful. the damage reduction, and the damage of the projectile, is too low to justify blocking with it.

Submit

I think the purpose of this shield is to be used against mages like Erdtree Greatshield. However, this one has lower stats requirement but poor damage negation, and likely built for just tanking magic damage while the Erdtree Shield is more universal.
It may not be a good shield, but at least it gives dex players a tool to counter int players (while str players have so many shields to use against mages).

Submit

Alright so I tested some things. Despite making the guard counter sound when performing the skill right after blocking the weapon art damage is NOT boosted by the Curved Sword Talisman, nor by the Deflecting Hardtear. You also cannot trigger the weapon art counter by equipping Shield of Night in your right hand and blocking with another shield in your left hand. I also tried Arrow's Sting and 2-handing the shield with Two-handed Sword Talisman to no avail. Unfortunately due to being a somber/split damage weapon you also cannot apply Scholar's armament to it. Scholar's Shield and Shield Grease works fine. It IS however boosted by the Spellblade set. The weapon art deals magic damage exclusively after all. As you might've already guessed it is also boosted by Shard of Alexander, Magic Scorpion Charm, Magic Cracked Tear, Terra Magica and universal buffs like Sword/Crusade Insignia and Bloodsucking Cracked Tear. The physical and non-physical damage portion of the this scales exclusively with DEX, weapon art included. Weapon art damage scales surprisingly well with D-scaling in DEX.

With the already high magic negation it works well for countering mages. Add shield grease/Scholar's shield and greatshield talisman and it works okay against regular enemies as well. Deflecting Hardtear reduces damage and stamina loss but does not increase damage of the weapon art's counter. From what I can tell it deals next to no stance damage when compared to other guard counters and bigger enemies won't even flinch. All in all this is meant to be a long range guard counter alternative. If it had decent holy/lightning protection i'd consider it for my spellblade build. As it is now it's more of a niche.

Submit

Seems like this would pair well with the deflecting hardtear

Submit

you can make this viable with scholars armament and greatshield talisman if you really wanted to make a shield build

Submit

A few questions about it: What's the damage type of the AoW? Do buffs on the shield apply to the AoW? And finally, does the spontaneous guard tear improve the damage of it?

Submit

Mirror Force but single target. You can reflect Sorc., Faith and Physical attacks.

Submit

Does countering change the animation ?

Submit

Looking glass knight ahh shield

Submit

So it's discount Erdtree Greatshield, but with low requirements and no need to time the counter?

Submit

I understand that it's a different shield size class, but for 1.5 extra weight the Silver Mirrorshield has better magic blocking (89% vs 70%), better guard boost (49 vs 39), blocks 100% of physical damage (versus the horrid 55% this has), and it has more lenient stat requirements for a wretch character (only 2 levels in STR from baseline versus 8 in INT). Silver Mirrorshield also has No Skill, so you can your weapon's ashes of war with it equipped.
This thing certainly is cool looking but I don't really understand its intended use case when a direct upgrade exists for its supposed niche of blocking magic. If it were meant to be a "anything but physical" shield that would also be interesting, but 45% blocking is low enough that you should just be dodging instead of using this.

Submit

I’m using rn against one of the weaker dlc “mini bosses” and it’s actually pretty water in a bad way

Submit

Should have been an heavy shield... :((((((((

Submit

requires 15 dex, not 18 int

Submit

How works exactly the counter part of Revenge of the Night ?

Submit

Not sure why this scales dex, considering dex users already get access to lightning infusions & fire damage from spark aromatics, not to mention the numerous holy weapons that scale primarily dex.. Does dex really need every single damage type?

Submit

I got really excited when I found this and upgraded it to max only to find it is pathetically weak fml

Submit

It scales with dex

Submit

This thing is the biggest menace against mages

Should've been 80 in all 4 elements
