The Ice Shield is another Element-resisting shield with the same stats as the rest. It resists Fire, and unlike the Ice- and Lightning-resistant shields, you will be able to buy more Ice Shields later in the game. Fire attacks are fairly common, so this is a good shield to have on hand. Note that you can find one in the Dreadnought, but it is guarded by a deadly Hill Gigas. Since you can always get more later, this is one Treasure you might consider passing by.

The Ice Shld is a nice shield, and along with the other Elemental shields, the best shield many Characters can equip in terms of Defense and Mag.Def. It offers protection against Ice (which it absorbs) and Fire, but also confers a weakness to Wind. As a nice side bonus, the user will learn Ice 2 at a ×5 rate.
