Shield Sword

A type of weapon invented in Arcadia and used widely by their soldiers before the invention of the Gunblade. The Shield Sword, consists of a two-handed sword attached on a shield at the hilt area. The hilt can be moved forward to display a stabbing/jousting type of weapon (with the shield still protecting the arms/hands) or can be held upright to be a two-handed sword with a shield to protect the arms and hands.
