If you have a Greatshield handy, use that instead, and upgrading shields usually increases their Stability. Long story short, if you want to be able to block the Capra Demon's overhead smash, you'll need a shield with high Stability-like the Balder Shield, Tower Kite Shield, or Caduceus Kite Shield, which are all available pre-Capra-and a decent amount of Stamina (from Endurance). This is why heavier shields tend to block better, even when they have the same DR%.

Small shields top out at ~45 Stability, standard shields top out at ~60, and greatshields hit 80+ Stability. if an attack does 200 Stamina damage and your shield has 60 Stability, you instead take (100% - 60%) * 200 = 80 Stamina damage. The current guess is that this is a direct percentage: I.e. Before an attack's Stamina damage is applied, it is first reduced by your shield's Stability. Thankfully, there is a way to mitigate this. This is the issue with the Capra Demon's overhand smash: It does a ton of Stamina damage. If your Stamina reaches zero, you end up staggered, and if your Stamina goes too far negative, you fail to block the attack at all. The way that blocking these and most attacks works is that the particular attack's Stamina damage is subtracted from your current Stamina.
