Shield Press (Alt: Shield Press) is a 3^rd class offensive skill available to Royal Guard.

Effect

Inflict Melee Physical Damage to a single target. It has a chance of leaving them stunned. Requires to have a shield equipped and uses 16 SP regardless of the skill level.

Level	Base Damage (ATK)	Base Chance of Effect	Effect Duration
1	150%	38%	3.5s
2	300%	46%	4.0s
3	450%	54%	4.5s
4	600%	62%	5.0s
5	750%	70%	5.5s

Damage (ATK) = [{Base_Damage + Shield_Weight + STR} × (BaseLv ÷ 100)]% + (VIT × Shield_Upgrade)

 Chance of Effect = [Base_Chance_of_Effect + (DEX ÷ 10) + (JobLv ÷ 4)]%

Notes

• Cards that increase damage percentage-wise do not affect Shield Weight and Shield Refine on skills that consider those into damage calculation. They will affect Weapon Attack and Equip Attack only.
• Weapons that ignore defense work with this skill, as does the Ice Pick effect.
• Stun duration is not reduced by stats. However, it is reduced by Base Level (unconfirmed).
• This skill has no Cast Time, but has a 1 second animation. Enemies with the "Cast Sensor" flag will usually get one attack in in retaliation before the damage is applied.
