Hexwood Shield

Hexwood Shield is a light shield-class armament that blocks attacks while only reflecting projectiles in the light class. It cannot be repaired in the usual sense, but instead regenerates 2 durability every 60 seconds, making it a self-sustaining defensive option for extended exploration and combat.

It can be obtained in Canaan by destroying Hexed Trees, or by salvaging a Woodsman's Axe, Pitchfork, or an Ornate Knife. It can also be fished up as scrap from bodies of water in Canaan, and later dropped by Lab Rats after completing Canaan. Some Hexwood Shields can be obtained earlier from The Snowman.

A few quirks are important when using it:

• Although it lists 30 durability, the game does not count it as fully repaired until durability is above 30, so regeneration continues until it reaches 31 or 32.
• On a blocked hit, it can create short-lived growths similar to Snag Vines around attackers, but this is rare because of a bug in the vine spawn position and only occurs in specific locations.
• If the shield breaks, it may remain stuck in a broken state even after its durability regenerates, causing it to fail to block further attacks. Unequipping and re-equipping the shield fixes this issue.

Because of its regeneration and special blocking behavior, Hexwood Shield is best treated as a durable, low-maintenance shield rather than a conventional repairable item.
