Characteristics
The Silver Knight Shield is one of the best medium shields in the game, with the highest stability of its class, both before and after upgrading (except the Crystal Balder Shield +5), as well as the highest resistance total. It also does not require valuable Titanite Chunks and Slabs to upgrade.
Its only real downside is the above-average weight and Strength requirement for a medium shield. Like most metal shields, its magic defense remains somewhat weak.
It has a medium deflection and normal parrying speed.
Resistance Defense
Along with Physical and Elemental damage reduction, weapons also have hidden stats that reduce the amount of status build-up while blocking.
