Round Shields are one of the three types of Shields available in New World. These kind of Shields are the lightest and are more offensive-oriented than the balanced Kite Shield and the Tower Shield. When paired with a Sword, a Round Shield grants players access to the Sword and Shield Skills tree. This, however, does not limit players to equip a Round Shield alongside another 1-handed Weapon, like for example, a Rapier.
Round Shields damage scale primarily with Strength, and to a smaller degree with Dexterity.
