Shields are items that can block attacks.

Alucard has the widest variety of shields available to him in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night, and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. He is able to equip one in one arm and they can usually block projectiles, although some can be used as weapons. He is unable to equip a shield if he is wielding a 2 Handed Weapon. In Harmony of Despair, some shields can reflect attacks.
