Shield Bash

Shield Bash is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy XI ===
Shield Bash is an ability gained by a Paladin at level 15. The ability can be used once every 3 minutes. When activated, the Paladin will use their shield to strike the enemy for a small amount of damage; however, its true application is its ability to Stun a creature and interrupt spell casters. It is relatively unreliable for stopping creatures' special abilities.
This ability creates a large amount of enmity. The effect of Shield Bash can be increased if the Paladin is wearing Valor Gauntlets, Knightly Earrings, or has an Aegis Shield equipped.
=== Final Fantasy XIV ===
Shield Bash is a level 10 Gladiator weaponskill. It delivers an attack with a potency of 100 and inflicts Stun for 6 seconds. 
In PvP, Shield Bash was an attack that stunned the target, but its potency was 800 and its duration was reduced to 3 seconds.
=== Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift ===
Shield Bash is an action ability available to the gria Raptor job. It is learned from the Beastsword. It targets one adjacent foe, pushing them back one tile and possibly inflicting the Disable status.
Strangely, while the Shield Bash attack requires the unit to be holding a shield, the Beastsword required to learn the skill is a two-handed weapon, and as such cannot be equipped alongside a shield. So unless the Raptor had previously learned Monkey Grip in order to wield the Beastsword with one hand, they would be unable to use Shield Bash until they master it and equip a different, one-handed weapon to use with a shield.
=== Final Fantasy Dimensions II ===
=== Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) ===

The knife combo has 24 physical power and generates 220 EX Force, while the magic combo has 10 magical power and generates 50 EX Force. Firion learns the attack at Level 30. It costs 40 CP to equip and 180 AP to master.
