Type

Item (Equipment/Shield)

First game

Fire Emblem Gaiden

The Steel Shield (Japanese: 鋼の盾 Steel Shield) is an accessory item in the shield category of equipment exclusive to Fire Emblem Gaiden, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia ans Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It is the third in the standard line of shields, better than the Leather and Iron Shields but still inferior to the Silver Shield. It gives a decent boost of 5 points of defense in Gaiden and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia but only 3 points of protection in Three Houses to units who equip it. In Shadows of Valentia, it also teaches the Defensive combat art, which allows the user to temporarily improve their physical defenses even further.
