Aegis Shield

An Aegis Shield is a Shield introduced in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. In The Lost Age it is one of the prizes that can be won in the Lucky Medal Fountain in Lemuria. Being a Shield, it can be equipped by Isaac, Felix, Garet, and Piers. In Dark Dawn there is only one Aegis Shield, found in a chest at Warrior's Hill, and can be equipped by Matthew, Tyrell and Eoleo.

An Aegis Shield increases the wearer's Defense by 41 and his Critical Hit and Unleash rate by 10%. It can be bought for 6700 coins and sold for 5025 coins.

An Aegis Shield is a valuable piece of equipment to obtain since there are no stronger Shields in the game that can be obtained without the aid of Sunshine. One pair of Gloves, the Riot Gloves, are essentially stronger versions of the Aegis Shield. However, since the Riot Gloves do not appear until late into the game, the Aegis Shield may see quite a bit of use.

In Dark Dawn, the Aegis Shield's usage may increase, due to the lack of Riot Gloves in the game. It can be combined with other equipment as part of a setup to increase the Unleash rate of the Sol Blade to its maximum.
