Briar Greatshield is a Greatshield in Elden Ring. The Briar Greatshield is a Shield that scales primarily with with Strength. Greatshields weigh a lot but provide the best protection in the game. Greatshields provide a greater value of blocking and protecting one's self from enemy and boss attacks, but greatly increases the weight and reduces the player's mobility. This type of shield works best at reducing damage or guarding instead of parrying.
