Look no more, we make best tower shields !
Some math below:
blocking factor = blocking level / 100 = 20 / 100 - 0.2
real damage blocked (value in parenthesis) = shield blocking value * (1 + blocking factor * 0.5) = 50 * (1 + 0.2 * 0.5) = 50 * 1.1 = 55
knockback damage dealt = real damage blocked * blocking factor = 55 * 0.2 = 11 damage
| Name | blocking base old => new | Quality increment old => new | New quality 3 blocking | Resistances |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wood tower shield | 10 -> 12 | 6 -> 9 | 30 | Pierce |
| Bone tower shield | 32 -> 38 | 6 -> 11 | 60 | Pierce |
| Iron tower shield | 52 -> 62 | 6 -> 13 | 88 | Pierce |
| Serpent scale shield | 60 -> 72 | 6 -> 15 | 102 | Pierce, Spirit, Lightning, Slash |
| Black metal tower shield | 104 -> 124 | 6 -> 18 | 160 | Pierce |
| Flametal tower shield | 140 -> 168 | 6 -> 24 | 216 | Pierce |
Knockback damage is displayed as grey damage (pointed by orange arrow) when you are blocking with tower shield (Hard setting):
These shields have 10% increase in stamina consumption for run, walk and 25% decrease in speed (vs -20% in vanilla).
Highly recommending ReliableBlock mod to play, thus adding as the dependency.
