Description[]
Arena[]
The Tower Shield appears to be a Roman scutum. The Scutum was a large shield used by the ancient Roman army. The Scutum was usually made out of wood, covered in leather and canvas, with a metal umbo in the middle for combat. They can be found in use by Roman gladiators in the Arena Mode.

Beneath[]
Tower Shields are often found in Beneath either on the ground or wielded by enemies. They provide full coverage from attacks from the front and thus offers the best defense. However, the downside to wielding one is visibility. When carrying one, it blocks a significant portion of the left side of your screen and when blocking, it takes up the majority of your view. The tower shield is seen in 3 variations, a wooden version, a more resilient steel version, and a dark version wielded by the Centurion. Unlike the wooden and steel version, the dark tower shield is transparent much like riot shields, allowing its user to see when blocking.
