Another week and another short video from Iron Gate to give a quick look into some changes. This week it's all about shields and how different they will be.
We've already seen the food changes and the blocking / staggering changes, which paired up with the newly tweaked shield mechanics definitely will make combat feel totally different. Tower shields will see a big buff with a lot more knock-back, making it a tanks best friend. The Buckler will let you parry oncoming strikes, while the regular round shields will be a "balanced" choice for a regular fighter.

That's all that was explained this time with more food recipes to be detailed next time. The Hearth & Home update will launch during Q3 2021, so presumably all these short videos will lead up to the release before the end of September.
Buy Valheim on the Humble Store or Steam.
