Hero Shield

The Hero Shield is a Hardmode post-Plantera shield accessory that redirects 25% of damage from players on the same team while above 25% health, similar to the effect of the Paladin's Shield. Furthermore, it increases defense by , increases aggro and grants immunity to knockback.

==Notes==
*On the version 1.4.1.2 and below, the Hero Shield has no effect on aggro, despite the tooltip suggesting otherwise and the Flesh Knuckles, which does increase aggro, being a crafting ingredient.
==Tips==
*In combination with Beetle armor, it is a great way to help out players on the team with low maximum health or defense.
*Although the shield provides the abilities of both the items used to craft it, it only provides half their combined defense, the same as the Flesh Knuckles alone.
** As of 1.4.1, its defense is still less than the combined defense of its components, but it became the accessory with the highest base defense.
*It might be better for tanky melee builds and whip-using summoners looking to maximize the effectiveness of their accessories to use Flesh Knuckles to craft a Berserker's Glove instead, which grants auto-swing, increased knockback, and faster attack speed, and use the Paladin's Shield for the Frozen Shield, which reduces damage taken when your life is low.
* Naturally, the Hero Shield offers few benefits to a single-player character.
