Pierce Shield is a Shield in Dark Souls 3.

An unusual style of round shield peculiar to the knights of Catarina.

The center of the shield features a large, sharpened spike, which is used to skewer opponents.

Skill: Shield Bash
Without lowering your guard, strike the enemy with the shield to knock them back or stagger them. Works while equipped in either hand.

Notes and Tips:

Can be Infused.
Reinforced with Titanite.
Provides an decent average damage block of 56.8. The best of the basher shields, with great stability for its weight. If you don't employ a shield bash in your fighting style, this shield is not recommended.

Location/Where to Find

Purchased from Unbreakable Patches after defeating Deacons of the Deep.
Drops from Siegward of Catarina when you meet him first in the Giant's tower in Undead Settlement

  Why are the requirements so low on this shield? It's better than a lot of medium shields with higher requirements, good block, insane stability for it's weight, and has a bash instead of a crappy medium parry. I just... don't get what the team was thinking when it comes to shields in this game.

  Sharp infusion, for whatever reason, does not add any DEX scaling, but Refined still does

  Don't infuse this. The stability on it is a key aspect to its usefulness

  I believe this might be the best shield for spear and/or rapier users who like to shield-thrust. Reasoning:
  
  Shields in DS3 follow a clear pattern where shields that do not have 100% physical protection usually have a far higher stability to compensate. When player shield-thrusts - if he gets hit mid-thrust he loses health even if the shield has 100% phys protection AND a great deal of stamina on top of that. So, since we take damage anyway... Why not try to converse stamina instead, as to not get caught with no stamina at all?
  
  For this reason, for shield-thrusting its far prefferable to use shields with high stability than high protection rates. And this shield is one of the best for that.
  65 max stability, combined with an extremely decent 93% physical protection, combined with surprisingly low weight of 3,5 is an exceptionally good deal, all things considered.
  The closest 2nd best is Wargod Wooden shield which weights 4.0 and provides 67 stability at +10, but less protection (and the suprise use of weapon arts).
  After that its only greatshields.
  
  Might try to make a low-SL character with this thing, see how it goes.

  Best shield for a mage: get it on +10 for 65 stability and cast great magic shield on it. Then you have a shield which blocks 100% of all damage and consumes no stamina. And you get to see Ugs wielders with a dumb look on their face because they cant break your defence. Watch out for the loyds talisman, it cancels the buff.

  You can get a maximum of two Pierce Shields per playthrough.
  
  One from Patches, and another from Siegward either when he dies or when you finish his quest.

  Is at its best when dual wielded. buy from patches along with the catarina armor, and finish seigward's quest to get two in one play through. fear not the meta my friends, and let the feast begin

  Question: Does this still do thrust damage if you do a regular 1h attack with it in your right hand?

  Has a unique strong attack compared to other shields. Gives it slightly better attack range.

  Since the patch that made the bash much faster and have more block frames you cant use this as a very aggressive counter and you won't have to worry about getting a guard break from an attack as that cant happen even at 0 stamina during the shield bash. Just watch your stamina after a bash as usually your out a stamina if you blocked a heavy hit while doing this.

  The shield deals thrust damage therefore it's capable of doing counter-damage (bonus damage when hitting enemies mid-action).If the skill bash is timed right - you can successfully trade an attack with the enemy.Unfortunately: shield's damage is terrible. Considering flat defenses, Leo Ring and counter damage it will deal 150-200 damage at best. Without counter-damage: 50, maybe 100 at best.Perhaps this is the only shield in the game that MIGHT be worthy of damage-dealing infusion like Heavy, Sharp or Refined. It will lose it's effectiveness as a shield but will gain power as an off-hand weapon.Be warned though: the block-frames on the shield bash are extremely precise, enemy can easily start a combo on you in the first half of the animation so it's crucial to time the skill early and perfectly.

  You can also get it when you kill Patches in the Cathedral of the deep at the narrow bridge when Patches has stolen Siewards armor.

  If you don;t mind chip damage, looks like it would have good synergy with a rapier or, even better, a spear.
