Tower Shield

The Tower Shield is a heavy early-game shield in My Normal Obsession that's used by Archers to safely reload their bows/crossbows. Its unique ability is its high-damaging bash that, though requires the player to get uncomfortably close to an enemy, has an 80% chance to stun targets. It can also be placed down by pressing R, allowing the player to reload behind the shield or take cover from enemy gunfire. When placed down, the Tower Shield only has 2,400 health, and headshots will fly right over the shield, possibly hitting the player.
== In-game Description ==
A tall, sturdy shield that can take a serious beating. It was used in a raid on Shoggoth Spire during the mid 1630's, and ever since, it has been abandoned by its owner. For being 30 years old, this particular shield has withstood the elements quite well, as only minor rust is visible on its surface.
Heavy yet impenetrable, the Tower Shield gives frontline archers some slight peace of mind as they reload their arbalests under its cover, or catch their breath while the shield blocks incoming bullets. Be advised, however, as this shield does not defend against Headshots.
Pros:
* Can be placed by pressing R, allowing the wielder to reload or catch their breath.
* Very effective at blocking ranged and magic projectiles.
* Provides +20% knockback resistance and 44 Guard.
* Can be used to bludgeon with left-click, providing an 80% chance to stun enemies.
Cons:
* -2.1 movement speed when held.
* Does not protect against headshots or blunt force.
* Very prone to breaking when placed.
* Melee attackers will simply walk around the shield.
* Provides very weak parrying force.
