For the next three rounds, you automatically block all incoming melee attacks (may not be used with bucklers).

Shield Wall is a skill that increases the chance of blocking melee attacks to 100% for three turns. It can be used only with hand-held shields, not arm-worn bucklers.

Ability Cooldown

Shield Wall's cooldown (CD) in rounds depends on the user's willpower (WI) attribute:

Trivia

• Prior to game patch 2.0.200.0, Shield Wall worked with any shield that did not have the string 'buckler' in its name, which meant that Stopsvalinn was also eligible for Shield Wall. However, this is no longer the case.
