Defensive Shields

These are shield which work similarly to vanilla shields but have further abilities that make them more powerful than the vanilla counterpart as well as requiring more advanced materials to be made.

Lemurite Shield

The Lemurite is a special shield that makes you invisible to players and mobs whenever you hold down right click to keep it up.

Although keeping that shield up is really tiring hence why there's a time limit of 30 seconds of invisibility, after releasing the shield, it goes on cooldown for some time depending on how much time you've used it for.

Showcase

Ceruclase Shield

This shield creates a temporary barrier of Ice blocks around you and entities that are next to you, the barrier begins to melt as soon as the shield is not held up anymore

You can use this shield as a barrier to temporarily hide you and your friends from the rest of the enemies. Note: Any Wood planks work in the recipe (for more information install JEI)

Offensive Shields (Bucklers)

This new type of shield called "Buckler" is an exclusive shield added by Metallurgy 4: Reforged, this type of shield has 3 properties:

• It's lightweight: You can hold it up while walking and sprinting
• It allows you to attack with the main hand while holding them up with the offhand.
• It's less resistant: after shielding one hit the item goes on cooldown for a certain period of time.

Zinc Buckler

This buckler is the counterpart of Vanilla Minecraft Shield, it's got all the properties of bucklers listed above and nothing more.

Vulcanite Buckler

Has the special property of creating explosions launching enemies back away from you on contact with the shield.

Showcase

Orichalcum Buckler

Works like a regular buckler during melee combat, when shielding a ranged attack 150% of the attack damage is reflected on the enemy, furthermore the enemy is teleported within melee reach to be attacked directly.
