Level: (1)
Critical Hit Chance: 5.00%
Attack Damage: (80)%
Requires Shield

Raise your Shield to Block all incoming Blockable hits. Release immediately after Blocking when an enemy is close to perform a Shield Bash, damaging and Stunning enemies. While your Shield is raised you cannot be Light Stunned by hits you Block, but Blocking too much damage may Heavy Stun you. You cannot Evade while your Shield is raised, but Evasion instead grants an equal chance to avoid this Heavy Stun buildup.

Shield Bash can't be Evaded

Shield Bash always Light Stuns

Shield Bash Dazes if holding a Tower Shield

Shield Bash causes 600% more Heavy Stun buildup

Shield Bash deals 3 to 4 Physical Damage per 5 Armour on Shield

Skills can be managed in the Skills Panel.
