Medium Shields, also known as Standard Shields, are a type of shield in Dark Souls.

Overview

Medium shields usually have better stability and damage reduction than small shields, but at the price of increased weight, while still maintaining lower weight than greatshields. Medium shields can also parry, and have uniform parrying animations throughout. Almost all of the medium shields have medium deflection except the Iron Round Shield (which has heavy deflection) and the Pierce Shield and Spiked Shield (which have light deflection).

"Medium Shield" is a term used for the sake of clear categorization within the wiki. Within the game, a Medium Shield will simply display "Shield" as its weapon type.

The Pierce Shield, the Crystal Shield and the Spiked Shield are the medium shields that have an attack instead of a parry.
