Any non-basic Shield[edit | edit source]

Standard Use[edit | edit source]

  • If your Shield is not currently raised: Raise your Shield.
  • If your Shield is currently raised: Lower your Shield.
Notes[edit | edit source]
  • Raising puts the Shield on cooldown. Lowering doesn't put a Shield on cooldown, but it cannot be done if a Shield is currently on cooldown.
  • With Jewel Shield and Malevolent Maw, you can choose between raising/lowering and their specific effects.
  • While dying lowers the Shield, being Dead does not prevent you from raising the Shield if you have Ethereal Gloves.

Passive Effect[edit | edit source]

  • If your Shield is currently raised: Passively grants -2 Speed.
  • If your Shield is currently raised: If you die, your Shield is lowered.
Notes[edit | edit source]
  • See Death Tiers for more information on effects like the death-triggered Shield lowering.

Effects[edit | edit source]
  • Shield Mastery: Prevents a raised Shield from passively granting -2 Speed.

Passive Effect[edit | edit source]

  • If your Shield is currently raised: Passively grants Algid Revenge and Frostfire Protection.
Notes[edit | edit source]
  • See Melee-Triggered Effects for more information on effects like Algid Revenge.
  • If you are killed by Ethereal Dagger's melee attack and your Shield is lowered, Algid Revenge still triggers.
  • If the Shield is destroyed by Jackhammer's or Chainsaw's melee attack, Algid Revenge still activates (except in the case of Auto Jackhammer; this case is likely a bug.) However, it won't activate against a Tetsubo that destroys it.
  • Algid Revenge does trigger due to Slash, Torch, and Axe from Let Me Axe You Something!'s penalty, but it fails to do anything for any of them; Axe doesn't exist in item form, Torch is Frostproof, and Slash is a skill. It also triggers due to a Swordfish or Sword with 1 remaining charge despite not having an existing item to act on.
  • Frostfire Protection will still activate if you have Frost Immunity or if the would-be-burnt item is Frostproof; the item is not burnt or Frozen.
  • Frostfire Protection will activate if a Frozen item is chosen for a burning effect such as with Fire or Laser; technically, the Frozen status normally triggers to remove itself and stop such a burn, though Frostfire Protection triggers faster, and as such it will prevent Frozen from triggering to remove itself. However, Frostfire Protection will NOT activate if a Frozen item is chosen for Volatile Oil or Specter Downie; when choosing a Frozen item, these items are deliberately coded not to burn but rather to thaw, meaning Frozen's trigger is not involved at all.
