The black metal tower shield is the fifth tower shield. It has more block power compared to Black metal shield but reduces movement speed by 20% as well as increasing dodge roll cost by 20%.
As a tower shield, it can't be used to parry enemy attacks.
When crafting, players can customize the shield with a few different pre-set designs and colors by clicking the style button beneath the item name in the crafting window. The design can not be changed afterward.
