Elden Ring: Greatshields Tier List

Verdigris Greatshield Almost comparable to the Black Steel Greatshield in potential, the Verdigris Greatshield is the second new Greatshield introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. What sets this shield apart is its emphasis on guard capacity rather than pure damage negation. At +10 upgrade level, the Verdigris Greatshield boasts a 90 Guard Boost, the highest of any shield in Elden Ring . Additionally, it comes with a unique skill called Moore's Charge, similar to Shield Crash but with one key difference: while it doesn't deal damage directly, it creates an AoE splash at the end of the charge that can knock down multiple enemies. The tradeoff for its high stats against physical, Fire, and Magic damage is its considerable weight of 28.0 (second only to the Fingerprint Stone Shield) and a staggering Strength requirement of 49, the highest in the game. The Verdigris Greatshield is carried by Moore and can be obtained when he is defeated at any point in the st

Icon Shield : Just scraping in alongside the most disappointing Greatshields out there, the Icon Shield only has 95% physical damage negation, but its passive ability does slowly regenerate the user's health (3 HP per sec, non-upgradable), potentially making it worth the trade-off in most situations. Elemental stats aren't great either, but with a weight of just 11.5 and reduced Strength requirements, it may appeal to players experimenting with unique builds. Additionally, the Icon Shield's unusual shape and stylish appearance add to its app

The only issue with it is that it's too small for a Legacy Dungeon and an area governed by one of the demigods. If players are quick or experienced, they can rush this whole place in just five minutes— boss inclu

It's just there to frustrate the players once again and is just a mere nuisance in game design as players simply just run past it. It's topped off with one of the least logical pathways to a boss arena; somehow, coffins are a better transportation method than Torr

If players want to turn Elden Ring into a power fantasy for the ages, it's easy to see why this mod would be right up their alley. The simple act of one-shotting enemies from the get-go and turning bosses into mincemeat is something that will definitely excite most players, but one should always keep in mind that a single mistake is all it takes to end a run even with a souped-up character who can't be taken down by regular me

The Mushroom Set is one of the greatest in the game in terms of various elemental and status effect resistances and is often used in some of Elden Ring 's most difficult areas, like the aforementioned Lake of Rot. Due to its very special looks, this armor is not too compatible with other sets in the game and is better used separat

Elden Ring is a tough game. Just like the rest of FromSoftware's catalog , Elden Ring is generally quite a brutal game, where even its weakest enemies can devastate the player's health bar if they're not careful. Thankfully, Elden Ring has a good few items that players can use to defend themselves against the game's lethal f

The Queen of the Full Moon Set has a ridiculous headpiece and questionable physical defense, but all that is excused once players use it against mage enemies or dragons. The Queen of the Full Moon armor boasts one of the most consistently resistant stats in the g

Players will have to unlock Mountaintops of the Giants in order to get to Castle Sol. It's an optional area but Mountaintops of the Giants is mandatory so unlocking that region is easy. To get to Castle Sol, Open world survival players will simply have to head over to the northernmost part of the Mountaintops of the Gia

Ant's Skull Plate : The Ant's Skull Plate is a striking and memorable Greatshield, fashioned from a beheaded creature. 100% physical damage negation, and some decent elemental reduction, the Ant's Skull Plate is a good piece of defensive gear, but it truly shines as a weapon. While also boosting the player's immunity by 50 points, this shield inflicts 90 points of poison build-up per hit, making it a rare and lethal poisonous weapon in Elden Ri

At the very least, the Mushroom Set makes for an excellent defensive countermeasure against magically inclined enemies in PvP or against those nerds in Raya Lucaria Academy. As a bonus, players get to be as light as a pack of button shro
