Shield exploits

Shield exploits are performed by shield knights.

A shield exploit is, believed by most, to be an exploit of the game and an unintended mechanic. Some argue, like Stouty, that they are intended mechanics and were integrated into the game by the developers.

Most of those that see it as an exploit have a negative view on it, an example of this being Najo, who refuses to duel anyone who uses shield exploits.

Shield exploits were uncommon in North America, before Sir Shield later joined KiLa, a North American clan, and taught them the shield exploits. Since then, it has become much more known.

The first use of the shield exploits, dated, is by the old shield player, KING. Shield exploits manifest in today by famous shield knights Stouty, and more commonly known, Sir Shield.
