Shields, ranging from Bucklers to the magical shields like Shield of the Accursed, Lucky Coin and Scutata Volturnus allow the unit block attacks on defence. The shield mechanism works as following: if the attack of the attacking unit pierces the defence value of the defender the defender has a chance to block the attack with a shield. If the attacker doesn't manage to pierce the Parry value of the shield the shield's Protection gets added to the total protection of the defender. High attack values and very high damage allows the attacker to pierce shields. | Shields, ranging from Bucklers to the magical shields like Shield of the Accursed, Lucky Coin and Scutata Volturnus allow the unit block attacks on defence.
