This is easily the best shield in the game, while statically there are superior shield for every other stat this one has stat requirements that allow any of the starting classes to use it. It's stability is SHOCKINGLY high for it's weight, not only that but it also has 100% physical block and a fast parry speed. Remember that this weighs less than the Crest and Dragon Crest Shield. Also you don't need to use a titanite Slab on it because it's Stability doesn't go up at +15, freeing that precious upgrade material for something more important.
Plus it does a great job at blocking elements for it's weight, sure it's Magic damage block is pretty lackluster at 30%, it's Fire damage block is great and it's Lightning damage block is respectable.
Another nice thing is that this can be used viably as Crystal because you can buy as many of them as you need, sure it's costly in the long run, but this puts it immediately as the +14 Standard Stability of 68.
Overall this Shield is a must have for lightweight characters as despite it's size and weight it punches far above (figuratively) what it should for being one of the shields of a starting class, even then pretty much any character can make great use of this thing.
