I'm looking for novels which have characters, be they main or secondary, who regularly fights using a shield as a weapon. Now, to be clear, I'm not talking about things like The Rising of the Shield Hero, where the character has a shield constantly (and may not be able to use anything else as a "weapon"). Nor am I looking for stories where the character has a shield in their offhand and may, on occasion, use it to create an opening for their primary weapon, but instead things like Captain America, who actually usually uses his shield as an actual weapon... even if it is often just as much a frisbee as anything else. So, yeah, stories where people who actually use a shield as an offensive weapon, rather than a purely, and usually obsessively, defensive one. Any ideas?
Shen yin wang zou. Mc is a knight that uses a shield often although mostly for defense, and more importantly one of his teammates uses a giant shield basically only for offense instead of defense
Shen Yin Wang Zuo MC and one of his party members both use shields though the party member is main shield while MC is like a pally tank shield and sword
To all the clueless plebs here, Tate no yuusha nariagari IS the rise of the shield hero Seeing these mistaken comments slowly kills me.
I agree with Tate no Yuusha He was transported to another world with other fellow japanese and was given a weapon such as a Shield that can't be removed to his body. He fights with monsters using his shield.
Heavenly Jewel Change, one of the MC's friends uses combination shield both offensively and defensively
Thank you. I purposefully specified and linked that and it was ignored. ...Right. Not at ALL ignoring the fact that I specified that THAT wasn't what I was looking for, as he can't actually ATTACK with his shield, even if it gets a counter-damage form later on. Okay, yes, I have heard that there was a SINGLE Superpower Form that makes a SINGLE Supermagic Attack with the shield. Don't care, he can't make a single simple "basic" attack with the blooming thing due to the world working on bullshit RPG-Rules that only exist to make his "rise to power" seem slightly more intelligent and interesting while the other 3 can be boring and stupid, so I am not interested.
