Black Metal Shield FAQ
How do you get Black Metal Shield in Valheim?
Black Metal Shield is crafted at Forge from Finewood x10, Black Metal x8, Chain x5, Black Metal x1.
What are the stats of Black Metal Shield in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Black Metal Shield reaches. Some of those figures come from Valheim's own item tooltip; the rest — reach, swing arc, combo length, what the secondary attack multiplies — are read from the game files, because the tooltip never shows them.
How much damage does Black Metal Shield block?
Black Metal Shield blocks 78–90, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 1.5. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.
Does Black Metal Shield slow you down?
Black Metal Shield changes your movement speed by -5%. Valheim adds that figure up across everything equipped — both hands, all four armour slots, the utility slot and the trinket — so a heavy set with a shield reaches a number you can feel, and it applies to the stamina that running and jumping drain as well as to speed.
How much durability does Black Metal Shield have?
Black Metal Shield has 200–300 durability, and can be repaired for free at a crafting station that covers it — repairing costs nothing but the trip, so there is never a reason to carry a worn one home.
Is Black Metal Shield worth upgrading in Valheim?
It upgrades to quality 3, and the table above lists every level with its own numbers and the exact materials that level costs, so you can see what the next step actually buys before you spend on it.
