Pelta Lunata is a unique Buckler, a type of shield from Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
Pelta Lunata has minimal bonuses, but is useful in early game, mostly due to its blocking bonuses and low requirements. It also gives large bonuses to Energy and Vitality. As it is a Treasure Class 3 item, it may only be found in Normal Act I. Its high uqlvl make it a very rare drop.
Pelta Lunata is still a low level item with lackluster characteristics for long-term play. Higher level items later in the game are better and can replace it, though its effectiveness can be extended when transmuted into a Defender.
