Yes. The only sets that cannot be used with Shields are those with a 'weapon' in or on the left hand. For practical purposes this would be Dual Blades, Katana, Claws, & Spines.

Sets like Super Strength, Martial Arts, Energy Melee, Dark melee, etc have alternative animations that range from being as simple as adjusting the left arm to completely re-animating the power. Stone Melee's Stone Mallet powers use some of the one handed animations of Battle Axe and War Mace.

What about Shadow Maul? That uses both hands.

Shadow maul doesn't have "a weapon in or on the left hand", so I assume it falls under the "have alternative animations that range from being as simple as adjusting the left arm to completely re-animating the power" clause.

I'd like more of a energy/force based kinda shield option....

In the videos and one of your screenshots you show an energy shield. I could not find it while playing iwth the test server character generator. Found the others though. I hope its not something we have to unlock or wait until a certain level to get.

If you mean the Talsorian Shield, it was available at level one.

So, you make your character then immediately head to the tailor and it will then be available? That seems odd. Why not have it available at character creation time?

Most likely the Talsorian Shield will be a merit purchased item. just like the other Talsorian items.

I love the new shields! Especially the Tribal one. Now I have another excuse to make a */Shield Scrapper... Dark Melee/Shield it is!

Updated Shadow Knight

Got a better matching shield for my Shadow Knight.

Tech Shield

This shield has a soft glow fade in and out. Another keeper!

I'm assuming something along the lines of E. Honda's Hundred Hand Slap.

I'm not entirely sure why it would need to be changed at all. So I'm hitting him with the shield as well as my fist really fast. what's the problem.


This would also apply to Flurry.

Dark Shield
Dark Shield sprouts a bunch of tentacles from your arm and causes the surrounding area to emit the Dark Miasma particle effects and a some of the stretched scary faces from Touch of Fear.

Electric Shield
A round shield of Electricity eminates from the back of your fist.

Energy Shield
Pulsates like the Whirling Hands ring and sparkles like the Energy Melee fist particles. Now if only Hero side Energy Melee could be made to Blue...

Gem Shield
A transparent crystalline round shield that sparkles.

Riot Shield
Another modern shield. The transparent part is tintable.

So, I wonder what badges or conditions you have to satisfy to unlock the Blue Steel shield, and if it will be available on both sides? I'd love to have a villain carrying around a shield they yanked right off of one of Paragon's most notorious heroes. Also, I wonder what the Rularuu shield will look like. As soon as open beta starts, I'm going to have to pester someone into letting me mooch a lowbie brute through the Technician Naylor story arc that unlocks those, since I think that's the only way to get Rularuu items that early.

Mostly though, I wonder how dangerous Blue Steel is going to be when my villains finally encounter him in game!

Aaaand that's that! All new level 1 shields added. I really like what's been made and it is making me even antsier to get my hands onto I13!

Redid the previous portrait picture I made into something a little more simpler and in-style with the game:

Did that last set at the top of page 8 of this thread get added mid today?

I downloaded the test version early this afternoon to look at the shields and didn't see any of those.

I'd like to see a round tribal shield, especially one with feathers as part of its options.


Too bad tankers don't have a single blade sword option, a sword and board character would make a perfect tanker concept. And of course, the spear. Spear and shield is needed.

Can't wait for this issue to come out. I've got a few 'names on reserve' already for shield characters.
