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 10, increases aggro by 400, and grants immunity to knockback.

Tips

  • In combination with Beetle armor, it is a great way to help out players on the team with low maximum health or 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.

Trivia

  • The Hero's Shield grants the most amount of defense out of any accessory.
