Diamond Shield



Diamond Shield (ダイヤモンドシールド) is a Shield that can be wielded by Vexen in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to Diamond Shield+. The Diamond Shield has the same physical structure as the Cryolite Shield, except that it is blue instead of pink.

Design
The Diamond Shield is shaped like a diamond with concave edges. This diamond has four small, diamond-shaped gaps in its center. Its inner edges are blue while its outer edges are a blue-white color. Each of the sides sports a large spike shaped like one of the spikes on the Nobody symbol, and another, enormous one sprouts out of the top corner of the shield. All five of these spikes have the same coloration; sky blue in the center with blue-white edges. The Cryolite Shield is colored differently, but otherwise identical to this shield.

In the Final Fantasy video game series, the Diamond Shield is the shield from the set of Diamond Equipment, and has appeared in all of the main games in the series, except for Final Fantasy XI. It usually provides a resistance to Lightning.

Gameplay
The Diamond Shield hits much faster than most of Vexen's shields.

The ground combo starts with two frontal slashes, then Vexen brings his shield up backwards to slam on the enemy.

The aerial combo starts with a slash then two circling strikes, pressing will make Vexen bring the shield up and slam it on the enemy.
