GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK: FULL LIST AND WHICH CHOICE FOR GAMPLAY

In God of War Ragnarök, it is not always possible to dodge or roll to escape an enemy attack. It is often easier to block, and if you can trim at the right time, a counterattack window will open. The game has five shields, each with one feature.

• Initial choice: Stone wall or fearless shield?
• Fearless shield
• List of other unlockable shields
• Stone wall shield
• Shield of explosive stars
• Guardian Shield
• Massacre

There is no necessarily better, as each shield is suitable for a different gameplay style. In this guide, we cite all the shields of God of War Ragnarök and their characteristics for you to decide which one is ideal for you.

Having all five shields unlocks the Phalanx trophy.

Initial choice: Stone wall or fearless shield?

The old rates shield is seriously damaged during the initial fight against Thor. It is even oken during the confrontation with the hunter. He is entrusted to the dwarf others as soon as Sindhi's house is unlocked.

At this time, the creation of two shields is offered. Nothing prevents you from creating and improving both later so that you can test them and choose the one that best suits your style of play. It is just an initial choice.

Stone wall shield

This shield favors the lock, carries and even blocks a guard eak attack from time to time, making it a great defensive choice, especially if you have survival problems. On the other hand, he loses in the matter to trim, which limits the opportunities for counterattack.

Once fully loaded, the shield attack, pressing L1 twice, inflicts area damage, which is quite good in enemy groups and certain bosses. The stone wall shield also increases vitality.

Fearless shield

This shield reinforces the basic functionality of a normal shield. It can still block, but it is more effective in giving Parry, which further stunning the enemy. If the Timing of the apparel is perfect, it even gives a super stun, perfect to counterattack, or even run the enemy.

The fearless shield is for players who like to risk and play more aggressively, which requires a higher level of play. It also improves recharge, which accelerates the waiting time of runic attacks. This once again combines with aggressive gameplay.

In conclusion, both shields are viable, but we recommend the fearless shield, especially at high difficulty level. The reason is that you will need to play well, dominate the fight and therefore dodge many attacks. Obviously, there is no shame in using the other shield, if you know your limits or prefer a safer style of play.

List of other unlockable shields

As you advance in history and during different activities, you will have the opportunity to receive or make more shields. Each corresponds to a distinct style of game. After getting them all, you will receive the silver trophy Phalanx.

Shield of explosive stars

This shield can be achieved in Anaheim, in the main area right after opening the gate stirring in an endless current. The shield of the explosive stars focuses on defense and a little in Runic.

Its differential is to be used offensively. By pressing L1 twice, Rates punches with a shield. The blow gives damage into area and launches smaller enemies away.

Guardian Shield

Rates' original shield is returned to you, along with a new counterattack ability, when you reach chapter 8: The Word of Destiny of the main story.

It has the same effect as God of War 2018. After trimming an attack, it is possible to hit the guardian shield on the floor, thus eaking the guard of nearby enemies. It is focused only on defense.

Massacre

You can take this shield from the floor after defeating Arm for the first time in Kelham. If unfortunately you forgot, it doesn't matter. Instead, it is added to the blacksmith inventory, and you can manufacture it for 7500 Hack silver.

The massacre shield is one more that can be used offensively, by tightening L1 twice, Rates will give an onslaught running with the shield, being a safe option to get close to an enemy. It is focused on defense and a little in luck.

Do not forget that you can also change the central road of the shield. There is a wide choice of these complements that help in efficiency, whatever Shield you are using.

So, what's your favorite shield?
