My go-to dwarf defense boost card. This card is so good. Not only does attached character get +1, but you when they take damage you can exhaust the shield to give the hero a resource. Trigger the shield response twice and you have basically paid back the shield cost.
Who it would work well on: Gimli (Works really well, because any resource generation works on Gimli. Also keep in mind that Gimli can't defend, take damage, exhaust the Dwarven Shield and then pay a resource to ready somebody, he has to pay the resource right when he exhausts).
Dori.
Potentially Bifur.
Potentially Dwalin.
Dáin Ironfoot or Dáin Ironfoot.
Nori.
Anyone else I'm missing?
My opinion: 7/10
