About shield mechanics. (Patreon)

Hey guys, how is it going?
While testing the game around over and over, I noticed that I barely use the shield myself, (It still needs work in terms of animations and stuff.) So I though for myself, is it even necessary? I always roll instead of using the shield. I don't imagine Zoria carrying a shield with her, so it's up to you. Should I keep and update shield mechanics or just remove it?
