Small 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.
A small, leather-covered round shield.
It features a large central protrusion designed for parrying attacks.
Skill: Parry
Repel an attack at the right time to follow up with a critical hit. Works while equipped in either hand.
Small Leather Shield Notes and Tips:
- Can be Infused.
- Reinforced with Titanite.
- Not recommended for blocking, due to its low damage block and poor stability.
- This shield has a unique parry animation, same as the Buckler and Target Shield.
- Consumes the highest amount of stamina for parries of all parry small shields.
- Has 10 parry frames, starting at frame 9 as seen below (parry small shield).
- The Small Leather Shield appears in both Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2.
