Great Turtle Shell Ashes of War

Great Turtle Shell Best Ashes of War

Great Turtle Shell Ashes of War
: No SkillAsh of War: No Skill

The No Skill Ash War is recommended since it allows you to use your main hand weapon's ash of war even while holding a Shield. However, the Great Turtle Shell's default Barricade Shield is also great for early game Guard Counter builds since it allows you to deflects most attacks and greatly reduce stamina consumption when blocking.
