Shields

The Warrior is the only class allowed to carry a shield. It goes in the off hand, next to a one-handed weapon, and turns the Warrior into the front-line tank of a team: more defence and HP, extra protection against magic, and access to the shield skills.

The first shield is the Soft Shield at level 40, followed by a new model every 7 to 10 levels up to the Dragon Shield at 120. From level 121 there is a shield for every level, in four families: Eidolon (121–125), Rigid (126–130), Starry (131–135) and Celestial (136–140).

Defence and HP for a few representative shields, shown as Normal / Super quality:

Picture	Level	Shield	Defence (Normal / Super)	HP (Normal / Super)
	40	Soft Shield	25 / 38	713 / 1386
	70	Wolf Shield	97 / 143	1148 / 2232
	100	Thorn Shield	285 / 420	1908 / 3709
	110	Fire Shield	379 / 558	1908 / 3709
	120	Dragon Shield	384 / 767	1908 / 3709
	130	Rigid Shield	529 / 981	2908 / 4709
	140	Celestial Shield	729 / 1252	3908 / 5709

• Magic defence: shields also add a percentage bonus to magic defence. It starts at 10% on the Rattan Shield (level 47) and reaches 29% at level 140.
• Attack: from about the Wolf Shield (level 70) on, shields add some attack too. A Super shield gives 14 at level 70, 70 at level 100, 173 at level 120 and 458 at level 140.

Most of the Warrior's own skills only work with a shield in the off hand, for example:

• Dash: pushes the target back and hits it, at the cost of some shield durability.
• Shield Block: gives a chance to block attacks, from 10% for 30 seconds at level 40 up to 30% for 60 seconds at level 110.
• Perseverance: a pure skill for characters that were a Warrior in all three lives. It allows a shield together with a two-handed weapon, but that weapon's Battle Power is then not doubled.

Like all gear, every model comes in five qualities: Normal, Refined, Unique, Elite and Super. Meteors raise an item's level and Dragon Balls raise its quality in the Forging window, and at high levels only Dragon Balls can raise the level.
