Shiren 1 DS:Shields
Shields (Japanese: 盾) are the only reliable way to defend against attacks in Shiren the Wanderer DS, as without one, Shiren's HP will rapidly diminish against ever-strengthening Monsters.
All shields have an unalterable base power value: Base Strength, and receive additional power through upgrades, in which all shields have a set Max Upgrade value which cannot be exceeded. The Upgrade Value number is shown next to the shield name as +[Value].
A shields Upgrade Value can only be increased by +1 by reading a Earth Bless Scroll with the shield equipped.
Combining shields in a Melding Jar will add the Upgrade Values of multiple shields together into the first inserted, as long as the Max Upgrade value has not been exceeded.
Shield Seals
- See: Melding and Seals
Some types of shields have inbuilt abilities (Seals), with various effects, including:
- The ability to return a part of physical damage taken.
- Increasing the chance of evading physical attacks.
- Protecting Items and Gitan from being stolen.
- Halving the damage of dragon fire.
- Reducing the rate of current Fullness depletion.
Melding Jars can combine many of these Seals into one item, creating an insanely dependable shield.
Curses
- See: Curses
Shield Seals do not function while the item is cursed but the upgrade value will be preserved and still function for defense. Once equipped, the Shield also cannot be normally removed.
Rusting
Triggering Rusty Traps and Green Slime Family Monsters can decrease the Upgrade Value of shields and monsters level 3 and 4 can remove Seals.
A shield's minimum upgrade value is the same number as its Base Strength, but negative. Eg. a Blast Shield has a Base Strength of 3 but will continue to decrease until it stops at a minimum upgrade value of -3.
Grey Slimes and Red Slimes
The [Gld] Seal will be removed first, then the other seals in random order. When being attacked, your shield or weapon will either rust by an amount or have another seal removed from it, if available.
- Green Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 1 each rust.
- Purple Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 2 each rust.
- Grey Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 1 each rust and can remove seals.
- Red Slimes: Decrease upgrade value by 3 each rust and can remove seals.
Exceptions
- Gold Shields can never rust because they cannot lose their inherent [Gld] Seal, though other weapons with this seal can rust by Grey or Red Slimes.
- Hide Shields can never rust.
- Wood Shields cannot rust by Rusty Traps but can rust by Green Slime Family Monsters (all levels).
Shields cannot lose their intrinsic ability, eg. a Hide Shield cannot have its [H] Seal removed. The [H] seal on a Bronzeward can be lost, however, because it is not intrinsic, but melded in.
Buying and Selling
- Shield base price: Shield cost without added inherent Seal Price.
- Upgrade value price:
- Total seal value: No change whether buying or selling.
