Your unrelenting aggression will be rewarded as the fight progresses. Your magic will accumulate and will allow you to obliterate anything you face.

The combo of agility with immobilization makes this weapon potent and a must-pick. Furthermore, the counterattack ability, which allows you to deal decent damage to your foes, makes this weapon lethal. There is so much room for creativity in ways you can use these abilities to your advantage. However, before you get into action, you will need to find these claws.

The weapon does frost damage and afflicts enemies with frost. Multiple shots add to the weapon’s impact in a fight due to its other feature. If you are able to land multiple shots in succession, you can freeze your opponents, thus restricting their movements. This allows you to land your powerful attacks without worrying about the enemy’s defense.

However, remember that enemies that use Frost attacks themselves will have resistance and probably won’t be frozen. Even without this effect on some opponents, the  Shield Musket is very valuable due to its ability to freeze enemies. You will have to do a trade-off for this weapon, though, as it requires a lot of alchemical capsules. 

The weapon scales with Alchemy so that it will become more powerful the more you invest in alchemy. Hence, this weapon is a good pick for an Alchemist build. Moreover, the
