Shields (Japanese: ) are equipable items that appears in Shiren the Wanderer 5 and 5 Plus. There are two hundred and ninety-six variants of them in total.

Summary

Shields may be called "armor" in different places in the UI or in past Shiren games.

Swords and shields are virtually identical in terms of gameplay mechanics, so much so that both categories are described in full on the Swords page rather than duplicating the information on two pages.

List of Shields

Families

For a list of all shields in the game, see the main article: List of Shields.

Here are all the "families" of shields, in Item Book order. Some shields improve their innate effect as they level up. This is an important consideration when choosing which item to use as your base. For example, if you want the best possible counter strike, use the Counter Shield as your base item, because its innate retribution effect improves as the item levels up, whereas the related rune is essentially stuck at level 1. On the other hand, rustproof protection is binary, so it does not improve as the item levels up, and the rune is just as effective as the innate effect (except for the fact that runes can be removed while innate effects cannot). When equipment gains new runes on leveling up, they are not innate and take up rune slots.
