Flametal Tower Shield One-handed

Flametal Tower Shield is crafted at Black Forge from Ashwood x15, Flametal x10, Asksvin Hide x5, Flametal x1.

They are listed above, at every quality level Flametal Tower 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.

Flametal Tower Shield blocks 140–152, scaled on top of that by your Blocking skill. It has no parry bonus at all, which is the trade every tower shield makes: it holds far more than a buckler and cannot be used to open a stagger window.

Flametal Tower Shield changes your movement speed by -10%. 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.

Flametal Tower Shield has 300–400 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.

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.
