Notes

• Assault Shield is the only shield which has a breach bonus other than 0 -- namely, a breach bonus of -1. As a result, this shield is unable to stun enemies by damage alone.
• Hitting the back of a Thorny with the dash from this shield will always result in a parry
• Rolling immediately after Parrying grants a boost in momentum, allowing for faster run speeds
