I played soccer so much when I was a kid, I was a defender. Whenever something went wrong I was the first one to get blamed, even when it wasnā€™t my fault. Appreciate your defenders my friends.

I really think shields have a lot of untapped potential in games for devs to get creative and make them more interesting like shield surfing. Thx for making a vid about this this!

You forgot Athena from Hades. Her defensive abilities are rock-solid and helps you stay alive. There's also Athena in Borderlands, where her action skills focus around her Aegis shield.

One of the best parts about playing Paladin in FFXIV, your only job with a traditional shield, is sometimes enemies attack you and it just deflects off your shield without you even doing anything. It makes a very satisfying little "ping" noise - which changes sometimes depending on which shield you have equipped! Love it. The sound engineers at squenix are rock stars.

My favorite memory of playing good old Final Fantasy 2 was the discovery that you could equip a character with two shields. Great for your backline healers!

i love how this guy tries to bring up astral chain every chance he gets. I finally got around to playing it this year and it's one of the most satisfying experience I've had with an action game

The shields in Dragon's Dogma deserve some praise. As a Mystic Knight, you can enchant your shield with Riposte spells to do things like deflect an archer's arrows back at them as FIREBALLS!

Zelda's shield mechanics go crazy I love being able to parry lynels makes you feel powerful and sturdy like a rock and seeing their face kills me

A lot of people like to say Link is left handed because he wields his shield in his other hand- I say he's just got his priorities right.

I enjoyed playing Dead Cells when duel wielding shields was a viable strategy. Shield was my main weapon and I'd use a regular weapon to attack when they were vulnerable.

The reason hunters prioritize shield attacks with sns is shield attacks do not degrade sharpness BUT still benefit from sharpness multipliers The stun and exhaust buildup is icing on the dps cake

I gotta thank you Mr. Man Space Astronaut Captain, I finally bought Astral Chain and it's just THAT good, your constant reminders and praises of it were what ultimately convinced me. Now, more people should buy it so that Nintendo takes the hint that we want more peak gaming
