Which of the new shields would you use with Fenris armor?
So I like Fenris armor because of its mobility, I really hate how slow you become with heavy armors, so I need a shield to make melee easier and also I'm going to stagger enemies for my two skeletons so they can deal better damage.
Which of the two shields (Carapace buckler and shield) would you use if you used Fenris armor? I tried on seeker soldier, both are able to stagger it without any problems. Would the Carapace be safer as my overall armor is just 52 so if I miss the parry I would get better block armor?

Both shields are good the buckler is basically the same as the black metal shield in terms of protection but with a parry you can stop a train, the shield is weaker for blocking than the blackmetal towershield but you can still parry with it so either are fine for their tier for 2 stars though, always buckler.

I went with the shield, since the new creatures attacks are hacky ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ which makes them much harder to gauge and parry. Whoever thought we'd be fighting giant Sith Bees in valheim? Not I.

Be happy you don't have Antlion Workers from Half Life 2 Episode 2, or have 3 Antlions attacking you for walking on sand.

I don't know or care about that game. All I know is getting hit without getting hit is dumb.

Or Bonemass. Unless you can use ranged attack or are really really good at dodge and roll (I am not) then melee should use staff of protection or Bonemass.

Bucklers are always better since you always want to parry every attack, so the only relevant block stat is the block armor * parry multiplier. Higher value = better shield, thus the buckler is just straight up better.

Buckler for sure, but I don't tend to use shields at all with fenris. I play that as a pure offensive build and refrain from being hit unless i 100% know i'll block all incoming damage with the shield, usually as a kill shot.

I just tested the carapace buckler vs the shield, and the result: I died. Yipee, lol. I don't know. I parried the 1-star seeker once, and it worked, but I couldn't tell there was that much improvement vs. the shield. Miss one parry apparently and you're toast. Not sure I'll use the buckler that much.

the extra armor from a shield isn't enough to make up the gap between your armor and heavy. Just use the light one and don't get hit. Perhaps the staff of protection is going to be one of your new favorite items?
