The '''Katagon kiteshield''' (Tier 8) is an item that can only be obtained and used while [[Dungeoneering]]. It requires level 70 [[Defence]] to wear. It may be picked up from the table at the beginning of a dungeon, obtained as a monster drop, or produced using the [[Smithing]] skill.<br />
<br />
Compared to a [[Dragonfire shield]], a Katagon kiteshield's slash, crush and ranged defence bonuses are 10 higher, 2 lower and 1 higher respectively, with the slash bonus only beaten by a [[Chaotic kiteshield]] (+90) among surface shields, being 5 lower. However, its stab defence is noticeably poor, 1 lower than a [[Dragon sq shield]]. Like all other equipment in [[Daemonheim]], it has 0 summoning defence but this is not important as no creature in Daemonheim uses [[Summoning]].<br />
<br />
It can be produced by using 3 [[Katagon bars]] with a [[hammer]] on an [[anvil]], requiring level 76 Smithing and granting 228 Smithing [[experience]].<br />
<br />
This item is less commonly produced by smithing than other pieces of equipment are, as many melee fighters will prefer to use two-handed weapons such as the [[Katagon spear]] and [[Katagon maul]], and these weapons can not be wielded with a shield. Also, players with exactly 3 Katagon bars to use for gaining Smithing experience will generally prefer to produce [[Katagon platelegs]] instead, as they give more experience per bar than the kiteshield.<br />
