The Iron Shield is Maximo's initial shield used in the Maximo series.
Maximo: Ghosts to Glory[]
The Iron Shield starts with two levels of power, but can be upgraded to four levels, which causes it to upgrade into a Silver and then a Gold Shield. Blocking attacks with the shield or hitting enemies with the Shield Toss reduces shield power, and can eventually break the shield. Other abilities include an item magnet, countering enemy attacks with either an icy wind or lightning, and making the shield hover after being thrown.
Maximo vs. Army of Zin[]
The Iron Shield returns, except now its abilities are tied to a super meter that it shares with Maximo's sword abilities. The Silver and Gold shields are now permanent upgrades that enhance the Shield Toss' power. The item magnet and lightning counter return, but now the shield can be enhanced to ricochet after being thrown.
