For expert players, this means that aside from the reduction of charge time granted by the moon version, the shields are virtually worthless except in certain key situations (such as the boss of the sea level), as it is usually much easier and practical to dodge incoming attacks. Projectiles cannot be blocked while Arthur is moving, so in order to use the shields for defense, the player must stop and wait to be hit while facing the correct direction.

The final upgrade comes in the form of a moon shield, which, in addition to blocking up to three projectiles, reduces the time needed to charge Arthur's magic attacks. The golden armor also comes with a sun shield, which may be used to block one projectile before breaking. From the bronze, Arthur can upgrade again to the golden armor, which allows him to unleash special magical attacks unique to each weapon by charging with the attack button. The first upgrade from the ordinary starting armor is to the bronze armor, which allows Arthur to use the more powerful, magical versions of his weapons.

Arthur can always get his defenses back by finding new armor, which is in hidden treasure chests throughout the game. No matter how upgraded, his armor falls off following any touch by an enemy, leaving Arthur defenseless and clad only in his underwear, at which point he will die if hit again.
