Shield Storm is a skill available in Dragon's Dogma.
Description[]
- "An advanced form of Shield Strike that shrinks the user's window of vulnerability with a faster blow that forces the target to drop their guard."
An advanced version of Shield Strike. In Dark Arisen, becomes Shield Slam with the Shieldsman's Ring equipped.
Notes[]
- This skill is focused on staggering or knocking down down foes in guarding stance, so that subsequent attacks will connect - as such it lacks the damage output of Cymbal Attack or its variants, and like other skills with high stagger or knockdown it uses relatively more stamina.
- Following up with Cymbal Attack or the primary weapon when the foe's guard is broken is optimal.
- When preparing the strike, this skill will block incoming enemy attacks as a regular block will.
- The shield strikes may be used to inflict debilitations from a suitable shield.
- These are the only set of skills available to Assassins to use the shield offensively and inflict debilitations with a shield.
- The highest tier of this skill Shield Slam, is identical in functionality to Shield Storm, both in terms of attack and Stagger power. However when used as a counter physical attack power is doubled.
