# Shield
The Shield was the most widespread defensive weapon in the world. Likewise, Shield is the most powerful defensive tool in MinerWar.\
\
Players can use ROCKs to activate Shields, which protect their OREs from being looted. The amount of ROCKs required depends on the level of the ROCK Pool\
\
After activation, the shield provides 24 hours of attack resistance. Purchasing additional shields will reset the duration of all active defenses. The more shields you purchase, the more defense times you get.
