The dwarvish roundshield is likely to be the first 2 AC shield the player finds; despite this, it is very heavy compared to most shields and provides no special properties, and is typically swapped for another lighter shield (e.g., [[small shield]]) or 2 AC shield (i.e., [[shield of reflection]] or [[elven shield]] as soon as possible.

Strategy

Main article: Shield#Strategy

The dwarvish roundshield is likely to be the first 2 AC shield the player finds. It is very heavy compared to most shields and provides no special properties, so that it is typically swapped for a lighter shield (such as a small shield) or a 2 AC shield (such as a shield of reflection or elven shield) as soon as possible.

History

The dwarvish roundshield first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
