Compiled by Wind!crap on the RagnaInfo forums. 

*Requires a Shield to be used. 
*If you miss, you will dealing the shield refine rate damage to the enemy(similar to Lord Knight [[Clashing Spiral]]).
*At level 5 the damage is 5 * 250%. 
*The attack is a ranged, ALWAYS neutral attack. GR and Deviling reduces the damage considerably. 
*It can miss depending on the caster's [[Hit]]. 
*Ignores [[Size]] Penalty. 
*Does not ignore [[DEF]]. Using [[Provoke]] against enemies with strong defense can significantly boost damage.
*Cast Time is interruptable.
*Shield's weight and refine rate affect the damage, so {{item|id=2130 Cross Shield}} and {{item|id=2125 Strong Shield}} is the best choice for attack. 
*ONLY stat-derived ATK contributes to damage. [[STR]] greatly affects damage; [[DEX]] and [[LUK]] have a minor effect.
*Any other ATK - weapon [[ATK]], weapon refinement, ATK-increasing cards or items - have NO effect on the damage.
*The attack bonus gained from [[Provoke]] or [[Berserk]] does not affect the damage.
*Weapon % cards affect the damage. For the maximum effectiveness, it is advised to use 4 slotted one hand weapons. 
*Ice Pick does not work in conjunction with this skill. 
*The damage is blocked by [[Pneuma]], [[Basilica]], [[Flip Tatami]] entirely. 
*The damage is reduced by [[Assumptio]], [[Energy Coat]], [[Kyrie Eleison]] and [[Defending Aura]]. 
*Reduction gears like Cranial, Poo and Immune are not ignored, but Immune can be bypassed by elemental endows. 
*Being Cursed does not lower the caster's damage with this skill. 
*Status weapons work in conjunction with this skill. But despite it hitting five times, the effects proc only once. 
*[[Lex Aeterna]] doubles the damage of all five hits.

== Strategies ==
In [[PvP]] situations you can use [[Shield Boomerang]] with Marina or Stormy Knight carded weapons to freeze your enemies and then use [[Shield Chain]]. It can be used on [[GR]] users, but does not work with Deviling card users. [[Shrink]] can also be very useful when using Rapid Smiting.
