Legendary Shield Skills
Hate Reaction

 * Change Shield (Attack)


 * Attack version of Change Shield. Used together with Shield Prison to use the skill Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden

A skill that has to be activated by using first Shield Prison to trap an enemy and Change Shield (Attack) to run them through with spikes. Summons a giant iron maiden that slowly descends upon the shield prison. The iron maiden is filled with violent spikes and when the door closes, deals deadly damage in most cases killing the target. While this is one of Naofumi's most powerful skills, it also consumes all of his SP when activated.

Blutopfer/Blood Sacrifice

Naofumi's blood is extracted from his body in a large quantity when using this ability, it then forms a bear trap-like shape under the intended enemy and repeatedly mashes them to death. Use of this technique has the unfortunate side effect of seriously wounding its own wielder, and cursing them by reducing their stats by 30% should they survive. For Naofumi however, his defense was not reduced. The curse can be healed with time, but the process can be accelerated by using purifying elements.

Megiddo Burst

Self Curse: Burning

Activated on close physical contact. The flames produced from this can cover a large range. This is no ordinary flame but a curse type flame that reduces healing effects. As its a curse based flame, holy type magic is needed to guard against it.


 * Dark Curse: Burning


 * Dark Curse: Burning S

Certain shields and accessories can change it's effects.

Energy Blast

A skill exclusive to the Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield. Shoots the Spirit Tortoise's Energy blast from the shield. Must be charged to 100% before firing.

Weapon accessories
The Legendary Weapons can be strengthened by equipping accessories on them. In the case of Naofumi's shield, lids can be affixed to the gem in the shield to add various effects.

Lid crafted by Elhart

After blocking a number of attacks, the lid shatters into pieces and a 3-meter barrier of light extends, similar to the shooting star/meteor shield. Once the barrier shatters, the pieces burst into flames similar to those of the Shield of Wrath II.

Lid Crafted by Naofumi

When the shooting star/meteor barrier shatters, some of the shards stay afloat in the air and shoot straight at enemies after a moment.
