Best Greatshields

Weapon Explanation
Elden Ring - Fingerprint Stone ShieldFingerprint Stone Shield ・Highest Guard Boost out of all the Greatshields in the game (consumes less Stamina when blocking).
・Can be buffed with Scholar's Shield, Greatshield Talisman, and Pearl Shield Talisman for even more guarded damage negation.
Elden Ring - Haligtree Crest GreatshieldHaligtree Crest Greatshield ・Has the 2nd highest Holy damage negation out of all Greatshields. Beats the Black Steel Greatshield since its other damage negation values and guard boost are much higher.
・One of the best Greatshields for negating Holy Damage especially in base game.
Elden Ring - Verdigris GreatshieldVerdigris Greatshield
(DLC)		 ・Has the highest Guard Boost out of all base game and DLC greatshields (consumes less Stamina when blocking).
・Very easy to get early in the DLC by triggering Moore's invasion.
Elden Ring - Jellyfish ShieldJellyfish Shield ・Contagious Fury grants you a 20% more attack power while in effect. Requires you to keep the shield equipped. Two-handing or swapping the shield out cancels the effect.
・Very effective if you're using this to buff Sorceries or Incantations since it stacks with other aura and body buffs.
