Recommended heroes
- Axe's high natural health regeneration combined with Stout Shield makes him much tougher in lane, especially after picking up another health regeneration item.
- Stout Shield's damage block keeps Spirit Breaker alive when charging into enemy lines, where he often takes damage from multiple sources.
- Reactive Armor still triggers after Stout Shield's damage block, making Timbersaw extremely resilient in lane.
- Ursa generally needs a Stout Shield to jungle effectively.
Others
- Melee carries who need extra protection from harassment in lane can benefit from a Stout Shield.
Tips
- Useful for tanking creep attacks as a melee hero, and more effective than a Ring of Protection against enemy physical attacks in the early game.
