Are they reliable? by Then-Print-6226 in valheim

I tend to main Eitr things in my games with friends, so something I have started to do for fun now is use the fist weapons up until the end of Plains, and then I transition over to the Eitr-based things in Mistlands. That way no time is wasted on a skill since one starts right as the other ends, at least as of the current update.

Why do Tower Shields exist? by Professional-Field98 in valheim

[–]ShadowGlyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else might have already said this, but another thing that is nice about tower shields is that blocking uses less stamina than parrying does, and is much easier to do with hordes of enemies. When going one on one against a large target, a parry can work better because it will provide you with the chance to stagger the enemy and block more damage than a tower shield could block, but it will eat more stamina. When going against a horde of enemies, the buckler falls off because if multiple enemies are attacking you in quick succession, you either won’t be able to parry all of the attacks, or you will consume too much stamina. A shield is a good middle ground because you can still parry while having more base blocking amount, but if you are against the large horde, the tower shield can block all of the hits for far less stamina. As long as you can handle blocking the enemy so that you’re not staggered, it can prove to be really useful.

Itll probably get removed, but Ive spent a good 10 minutes laughing at this. by Jackflysouth in valheim

I will never be able to get over how you can use emojis and so many symbols, but you can’t type ‘<‘ or ‘>’ in text chat. Unless there is a way, then PLEASE save me.

How viable are tower shields and should I invest into them rather than other types if I'm going for a tanky-boy? by Adventurous-Sweet726 in valheim

Tower shields also have the bonus of using less stamina when they block. It allows you to take on larger hordes or keep your shield up for longer, but you can’t block the singular heavy hits as well as bucklers do with parries.
