Weapon behavior

Strength scaling affects shield attack damage, not its damage-blocking percentages. Extra Strength does not improve stability once the requirements are met.

Reinforcement and comparison

Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 30%, fire by 70% and lightning by 50%. Starts with 58 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.

Reinforce to +15 with ordinary Titanite materials. On this path, stability rises from 58 to 72; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11.

Requirements

From the Parish church, cross the long bridge to the stone building on the forest side. Rest at the bonfire inside, then take the stairs down one floor to the sound of hammering.
Speak to Andre at the anvil and open his purchase menu. The Titanite Demon in the room below him is not required for shopping.
Speak to Andre of Astora and buy Tower Kite Shield from the weapon inventory.

Notes

Requirements and weight: Requires 10 Strength and weighs 3.
Blocking at base reinforcement: Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 30%, fire by 70% and lightning by 50%. Starts with 58 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.
Parrying: Can parry with the left-hand strong input. A successful parry opens an eligible enemy to a riposte with your attacking weapon; it does not make every attack parryable.
Reinforcement: Reinforce to +15 with ordinary Titanite materials. On this path, stability rises from 58 to 72; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11.
Conversion choices: Magic, Fire and Lightning conversions change attack damage and the corresponding elemental guarding instead of continuing the normal path's stability improvements. Divine adds Faith-scaled magical attack damage, rather than Faith-scaled blocking. Crystal can improve stability on suitable shields but sharply reduces durability and prevents ordinary repairs.
Attack scaling: Strength scaling affects shield attack damage, not its damage-blocking percentages. Extra Strength does not improve stability once the requirements are met.
Temporary shield spells: Magic Shield and Strong Magic Shield can temporarily strengthen the left-hand guard when cast with a catalyst in the right hand. They replace one another, and two-handing the other weapon removes the shield enchantment. These are different from resins and melee weapon-enchantment spells.
Starting alternative: Knight begins with this shield. Other classes can buy it from Andre; it is not locked to Knight characters.
Compared with Caduceus Kite: Shares its main base guarding values, weight and requirements with Caduceus Kite Shield. Neither provides immunity to poison or bleed simply because it blocks all ordinary physical damage.
