When talking about gear in Valheim, the things that immediately come to mind are armor and weapons. <\/p>\n

Whether it’s a helmet, chest piece, sword, or bow, these are the items you typically think of when trying to figure out what gear to equip. However, there’s an often overlooked element to the gear pool in Valheim that players should be taking more advantage of. <\/p>\n

The shield is a powerful tool in the Norse realm but due to its situational usage and expensive crafting recipes, many players simply skip over it. This shouldn’t be the case though, as you can realistically not get hit by any creature as long as you know how to properly use your shield. <\/p>\n

Of course, your chances of staying alive are improved when you have a better shield equipped. So, the question remains, what’s the best shield in Valheim? <\/p>\n
