Flashes of red flit across the snowy wastes, as the savage Vanir lunge for their prey, painting the frigid terrain in a complimentary shade of crimson. Aesir blood shall quench the thirsty earth they encroach upon!
About Vanir Chieftain Shield
Vanir Chieftain Shield is an Epic Shield in Conan Exiles. It deals 36 light damage, 36 heavy damage, and 12.15% armor penetration. It is a Tier 4 item.
Vanir Chieftain Shield is a craftable weapon — it is produced at a crafting station rather than dropped by enemies. It is part of the "Battle Pass: Age of War - Chapter 1" DLC, so players without that content cannot obtain it. Tier 4 places it in the upper band of the game's weapon progression.
Its base damage of 36 ranks #19 of 87 Shield entries tracked here. It has a modest 12.15% armor penetration, 10 poise damage that helps interrupt enemies, and 2500 durability before it needs repair. At 2 weight it is light to carry.
Carried off-hand to block and shield-bash; pair it with a one-handed weapon for a defensive bruiser build.
Verdict: Overall Vanir Chieftain Shield is a strong pick among Shield weapons in Conan Exiles, and being craftable makes it easy to replace if it breaks.
