Royal Kite Shield is a Standard Shield in Dark Souls 2. 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.

  As Dex, I dual-wield weapons. But if I see an extra "atack-ee" Enemy or boss, this is my go-to shield. Low requirements and low weight for its 100% physical block.
