Shield Crush is a melee attack skill. The user swipes their shield, dealing area damage in three waves in front of them. Enemies can be hit by two of the waves where they overlap. Like Spectral Shield Throw, Shield Crush uses your shield's stats to calculate damage.

Shield Crush requires a shield.
