you can block anything that hits you from the front. not explosions that cover an area like the pot that throws mines or bombs in chambers, but anything else is fair game (correct me if im wrong here)

when you unlock other aspects bull rush has a lot more use but with the default it lets you reposition to another side so you don't get flanked/surrounded cause then blocking wont help obviously. also you can get hammers to buff the bull rush in different ways to make it more useful

as for boons for first shield, neptune stuff is pretty good as you can easily dash strike spam stuff into walls and destroy them. athena's divine dash so you can reflect anything with dash if you're not already blocking
