Force Shield

Front Line Shield is a shield-type weapon which exchanges the ability to parry for best-in-class damage reduction while blocking. It is currently the only shield which is able to scale based on a stat other than Survival, namely Brutality.

Last Resource
Due to its high Block Damage Reduction, this shield could be seen as a way to limit damage when it's impossible to escape an attack, not even by rolling.

Tanking
Another sensible usage of the Front Line Shield is to use it to endure the damage of hard-to-dodge attacks, such as the Hand of the King's Arena-long Shockwave attack, instead of hazarding a dodge and risking to take severe damage.
