Shields

Shields act as enhanced, compared to vanilla.

They provide a chance to Shield Bash (timing matters here!). The more perfect your timing, the better the chance to Shield Bash. A successful bash will cause damage to foes, knocking them back, and has a chance to Stun them on a Perfect block. This gives fighters with shields an advantage in defensive combat, allowing them to reposition enemies or knock them off cliffs while chipping away at their health.
