Black Leather Shield is a Medium Shield in Elden Ring. The Black Leather Shield is a Shield that scales primarily with Strength. Medium Shields feature a good balance between defense and weight, which is great for most situations in combat. Although it may not be as light as a Small Shield, which is good for agility and parrying, a Medium Shield works better at reducing damage and blocking.
