In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Shield of Scorching Reprisal is a fantastic, rare gear item, and you can get it in Act 2 from Flaming Fist Grave. Here are the details!
Shield of Scorching Reprisal
The Shield of Scorching Reprisal, a rare shield in Baldur’s Gate 3, can increase your AC by 1, once per short rest. It also grants you fire resistance and reaction that can knock enemies prone if they attack you in melee range. Crowd control is one of the most robust tactics in the game. Enemy sent prone has to use half of their movement to get up, and if that leaves them with 0 movement points left, they will skip a turn. This significantly disturbs enemy attacks on your team.
This shield will significantly enhance your survivability and combat power, making it a top-tier choice for a Sorcerer, Wizard, Cleric, Fighter, Druid, and Paladin. However, it will work fantastic with almost any class. You can equip it to your character’s off-hand weapon slot in the inventory, providing additional bonuses and buffs. The user needs Shield proficiency or suffers penalties while wearing the shield.
