Don't underestimate how beneficial this spell is.  It is especially useful when protecting units of lesser levels or units already with a massive amount of defense.  You'll also be amazed when your hero has over 30-40 defense skill and this spell in effect, how little damage a throng of creatures will do.

{{user commentary|
Unlike spells like [[Stone Skin]] that affect [[Defense]], Shield directly multiplies the total damage by 70% (or 85% for Basic).  (See the [[Damage#Damage calculation of creature stacks|damage calculation]] page for details.)  Since Defense is somewhat more complicated, it's hard to directly compare its effects, but a very rough estimate is that Shield is worth about 10 (5 for Basic) extra points of Defense.  <!-- Depending on the difference between defense and attack, it can grow from 5 to 12 to 8 to 12 again, and even higher for very high attack. -->

Since Defense is somewhat more complicated, it's hard to directly compare its effects, but a very rough estimate is that Shield is worth about 10 (5 for Basic) extra points of Defense.
