Small Shields Spell Parry/Strike
Enchantable:
Yes/No
No Special

Magic Shield is a Small Shield in Dark Souls 2. Small Shields and Standard Shields can be used not only to block an enemy but to parry their attack as well. This allows a riposte, a free attack by the player for a high amount of damage. Enemy attacks can be interrupted with a parry (pressing the Strong Attack button for the shield) and requires practice to learn the timing.

Hints and Tips:

  • Infusing a Magic Shield with magic at McDuff's workshop grants 100% magic defense without even a single upgrade, which, combined with its low weight, makes it a very useful secondary shield.
  • However, Crystal Soul Spear can still deal damage even under Magic infusion.
  • Has worse parry frames than most small shields.
  • Also capable of spell parrying.
