Shield Bash

Shield Bash is a skill in Dark Souls III.

Description
Skill most commonly found on greatshields. The player slams the lower part of their shield onto the ground and uses it to lunge forward with great force in an attempt to tackle their opponents.

Campaign
Useful against mobs and stronger enemies alike. Lets the player infiltrate an enemy's personal space, especially those who like to swing long weapons constantly. May also be used for knocking back groups of enemies, leaving them staggered or on the ground and ready to be finished.

Online gameplay
Useful for infiltrating an opponent's guard and for taking them off balance, as a character with their shield risen is usually expected to be defending only and not suddenly rushing forward.

Also very useful against blocking opponents, allowing to drain big chunks of stamina and possibly breaking their guard.
