Anti-Dragon Shield

The anti-dragon shield is a power level 3 masterwork shield that can be crafted at a blacksmith's bench after obtaining the recipe from Vertentis Kara, the dragonkin vault in the Whispering Swamp. It is also one of the rewards for completing the Dragon Slayer quest, and is used as a material to craft the dragonblight shield, dragoncurse shield and the dragonfire shield. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores. Its special effect allows the user to block incoming dragon fire without being staggered. This includes the sweeping breath attack that all dragons perform, as well as the poison spit from green dragons, the spinning fire from Imaru, the lightning ball from blue dragons, and the fireball from red dragons and Fuzan. This does not include any ground-based effects like Velgar's poison breath/barrage and earth spikes, Imaru's wither projectiles and spikes, and Fuzan's lava floor. Notably, despite not being listed, this special effect is also present on the dragonblight shield and dragoncurse shield but not on the dragonfire shield. All of that being said, Tempest Shield will block all incoming damage (excluding any ground-based attacks), including the projectiles and spikes that weren't blockable even with the special effect, and that is available even with two-handed weapons. Otherwise, all vestige and masterwork shields can be ascended to the highest power level and will have the same block value, with the exception of the fallen hoplite's aspis which has 3 more and the toktz-ket-xil which has 6 less. Therefore, the optimal shield choice will come down to their special effects, and this shield may often be chosen as it can block dragonfire but will not interfere with staggers caused by parries, unlike the other dragon shields.
