A knight may wear one shield at any given time. Like other equippable items, shields are usually crafted from recipes. However, shields can also be bought ready-made from Kragen in the Bazaar, and they are occasionally given as rewards for completing missions or collecting boss tokens.
A shield has health, damage defenses, and status defenses, just like a knight. When a shield is inactive, it has no effect; it does not passively protect the knight at all. When a shield is activated, it blocks all damage and status effects from reaching the knight. Absorbing this damage and status lowers the shield's health, by an amount depending on the content of the attack and the shield's resistances. When the shield's health drops to zero, the shield is broken. The shield must regenerate, before it can absorb any more damage and status. Regeneration takes roughly 10-15 seconds, as long as no new damage is absorbed. For more detail, see the Shieldbearer Guide.
NOTE: All stat images are taken from Level 1 items.
