Leather Shield is a Shield in Dark Souls 3. Small Shields usually weigh very little and have the least form of protection from attacks. They are often used by players who prefer parrying rather than blocking.
An orthodox, round small shield covered with leather.
Small shields offer little damage absorption or stability, but they are lightweight and make ideal instruments for parrying.
Skill: Parry
Repel an attack at the right time to follow up with a critical hit. Works while equipped in either hand.
Leather Shield Notes and Tips:
- Can be Infused.
- Reinforced with Titanite.
- Not recommended for blocking, due to low block rates, and poor stability. It is, however, among the lightest shields with a regular parry animation.
- The Leather Shield first appeared in Dark Souls.
