Small Shields | Elden Ring Wiki


Small Shields are a type of Shield in Elden Ring. Small Shields usually weigh very little and give the least protection from attacks. They are often used by players who prefer parrying rather than blocking. Its lighter weight also makes it ideal for quick, agile characters with low equipment weight capacity. 

Most Small Shields can be modified by Ashes of War, allowing you to change their Skill and their damage reductions when blocking.

      Small shield block well when its used to block a single devastating attack that has no follow up in PvP, blocked Placidusax's nuke with small shield and take the window of attack immediately instead of running away

        Small shields have served a more aggressive purpose in the past with faster parrying frames compared to medium shields / weapon parries, this is accentuated more now with some increasing resistance to status. But y'know, one shield boosts all status resistance so just don't use any other lol.
        I feel like with small shields being more geared towards light loading small arms builds, small shields should increase the speed of guard counters (same with 2 handed blocking). Guard counters are already very predictable and obvious, so it certainly wouldn't be broken.

          Small Shields feel bad in this game. In previous games they had the advantage of having the best Parry frames and lightest weight in exchange of the better defensive properties of Medium Shields. But Medium Shields can have Carian Retaliation applied to them, which means the only real advantage Small Shields have over Medium Shields now is lower weight, which is heavily offset by having lower defenses than Medium Shields. This means that in most cases, you would only use a Small Shield if you were purposefully min/maxing your Endurance and using the lightest Shield you can equip, meaning the Rickety Shield or maybe the Spiralhorn Shield if the status resistances are that important to you, with all other Small Shields just being suboptimal and not worth the weight until you reach the threshold where you have 100% Physical Block Medium Shields at 3.5 Weight. It's a reverse bell curve, where 15 of the 17 Small Shields are worse than some other Small or Medium Shield, because they all have the exact same parry frame data, so the only differences are passives (Spiralhorn is the best), weight (Rickety is the best) and defenses (Medium Shields weigh about the same at their lightest as the heaviest Small Shields and are better defensively across the board.) I understand that Elden Bling is a thing, but that's not really an argument against Small Shields being mediocre, as that is prioritizing Form over Function, which isn't the point of my comment. Buff Small Shields.

            When looking at the values for max level it has the Beastmans's Jar-Shield which is a medium shield listed in the top row

              they should buff all small shield to recover faster from a guard break ( 30% faster for example ) to be even worth any form of attention of non cosplayers….. absorb stats are too low and guard boost is absolutely trash… even 60 guard boost is unreliable in this game for mid-late game

                  Small shields are part of the strat to kill Rykard fast (poking is the best DPS in this fight and it's faster with a small shield).

                    The Ashes of War system makes these much less relevant. In previous games, small shields were bad at blocking, but were excellent for parrying. But now I can get a great parry skill for my kite shield so....why use these? Maybe for the weight. Yeah, I think they might be worth it for a fast roll build.

                      Would be awesome if the max upgrade stats had a listing for guard boost, and not just the base form listings. Some shields seem to really catch up to others in terms of guard boost after a few upgrades, I just don't have the titanite to see how they compare past something like +6 right now. TBH wouldn't mind having guard boost listed in general for weapon stats, as there's a number of greatswords and ultra greatswords that have similar or better block stats than many small shields, for example.

                        Now that you can put Carian Retalition on medium shields (which have 100% physical block, better guard boost, and only marginally higher weight and STR requirements) and get buckler level parries, small shields are basically invalidated. Considering that, I think they should give small shields full physical block or at least have them somewhere in the 90’s.

                          I really think that other than parrying, small shields should have a useful effect.
                          How about when used with a short sword or a dagger, giving a moveset similar to the valorhearth of ds3 ?

                            Anyone know of any enemies that are good for practising the parry? I've never been all that great at it as far back as the first dark souls, The funny thing is though I had no trouble using the gun parry to set up visceral attacks in bloodborne. I was able to parry most enemies consistently so I don't entirely understand why I'm finding it this hard to do with a shield.

                                Missing spiral horn shield, found in Litruna of the lakes next to the walking monument. Closest to the ruined monument Sight Of Lost grace right below the lake you will see a purple item. That is this shield.

                                It is a small shield that causes blood loos buildup. 8 str requirement, scales with e strength

                                  I most recently played Dark Souls Remastered before this game so take this with a grain of salt. But I have found the small shield parry window to be MUCH more forgiving and reliable over medium shield parry. With medium shields I think you are better off guarding and then doing a heavy attack for a counter into a riposte.
