Kite Shields are a type of shield similar to Heater Shields. Their rounded top provides slightly more visibility than heater shields to the sides when raised in first person view, but this does not otherwise affect blocking.
Kite Shields are the same size and speed as Heater Shields, but generally offer more durability with less resistance, with the exception of the Knightly Kite Shield. They are a good choice for mounted units.
There are six different types of Kite Shields, which may also receive Modifiers.
