For gameplay tips follow these instructions
When holding a shield and S keying away from an enemy, be sure to spam QSES. When approaching an archer, spam QAR. Do not forget, with this much shield skill your shield is a more powerful weapon than your shortened spear. Shield bash lightly armoured opponents to death with a neutral nudge.
