What are Small Shields?

Shields With Low Guard Boost But Long Parry Window

Small Shields are shields that sacrifice defensive strength for a longer parry window. They are ideal for Nightfarers that prioritize parrying and focus on damage output.

While Small Shields have a smaller Guard Boost, their higher parry window can be a boon for specific Nightfarer builds that focus on parrying and evasion instead of outright tanking attacks. However, their lower Guard Boost means guarding will consume more stamina compared to Medium Shields or Greatshields.

In Nightreign, shields don't have weight, stat requirements, or scaling. Unlike in the original game, all Nightfarers will be able to use all shields found during a match.

How to Get Small Shields

Small Shields are Found Randomly

Small Shields are part of Nightreign's randomized loot pool (which varies per match). During a run, they can be dropped by enemies, found as loot in chests within POIs, or claimed as rewards from defeated bosses.
