Best Small Shields

Weapon Explanation
Elden Ring - Spiralhorn ShieldSpiralhorn Shield ・Slightly boosts resistances to Scarlet Rot, Poison, Frostbite, Bleed, Sleep, and Madness. The effect persists even if you only have it on your back.
・Good as a general defense booster for PvP builds; also very useful for general PvE exploration.
Elden Ring - BucklerBuckler ・Gets one of the best parrying skills in Buckler Parry. Allows you to parry on reaction rather than timing (especially against enemies like Crucible Knights).
・Can be obtained in Limgrave, making it much more accessible than Ash of War parries like Carian Retaliation and Golden Parry.
Elden Ring - Smithscript ShieldSmithscript Shield
(DLC)		 ・Can be used to damage enemies using Discus Hurl. The skill gets excellent tracking, allowing you to dish out damage while waiting for an opening to attack.
・Skill damage can be boosted using the Smithing Talisman.
