Shield

can be used to directly defend against attacks, instead of relying upon Armour's specific bodily points of defense.

Obtaining
cannot yet be crafted, therefore they must be found as Loot within Cave Structures and chests scattered about the Overworld.

Uses
are a more direct form of defense, allowing users to use their hands to defend against certain weak points of their body, whether they simply lack Armour or are often targeted by the enemy. They may also be used to catch or deflect ranged attacks from enemies such as Archers or Wyrms. All types of shields block all damage, if the player manages to deflect the attack For this reason, larger shields are usually better since it is easier to block with.

Types
