Small Shields are a type of shield in Dark Souls.

Overview

Small shields are the lightest of the shields, making them good for faster classes that do not want to be encumbered by heavy equipment. Small shields are poor at damage reduction and stability. Many small shields have unique parry animations with different hit frames. The lightness of the shields themselves also causes them to only have light deflection.
