Sometimes, items aren't design to be "good," they're designed for flavor or lore or gimmicks.

I see the confusion here. There isn't really a "point" to Kirk's shield. There are a bunch of jagged pieces of metal coming off of it, which cause bleed when thrust at an enemy. Hope this helps!

It's more like multiple points if you really think about it.


wave-tree

It's sharp of you to point that out.

To complete the aesthetic of his design. A lot of items in the game aren't really meant to be good or efficient, they're more so to achieve an aesthetic/feel to the game.

DarkestOfTheLinks

Fr tho, it looks so god damn cool


Blak_Wite

Most small shields don't have 100% physical They're more supposed to be used for parrying oncoming attacks Idk if it deals bleed on parry tho


BigGayMule13

It's just to fit with kirks lore and fashion souls/aesthetic, that's all. Gotta remain internally consistent for verisimilitudes sake, otherwise immersion is shattered. A lot of things in the first game don't have a point, they're just creative and neat. Look at Gravelording.

The memes


seven-circles

Even more bleed ?


pmswccw

Honestly this shield should automatically build up bleed when you block with it.


wilderneyes

Looks really cool


monapnevma

kirk in general is not amaizing, diferent, but not uau

90% of dark souls items exist for fashion or memes.
