Lode Shield

 is armor in. Sold in Kajar by the Nu merchant, Lode Shields were prohibited by Queen Zeal. Since there are no shield slots in Chrono Trigger 's game system, players are unable to purchase or use Lode Shields. The shield is probably a complement to the Lode Sword. It's revealed in the re-translation that it's actually "Platinum Armor", or "Lode Armor", meaning it might be the Lode Vest.
