I’m diving into the sword and shield weapon class and want to start with a bang! I usually prefer a paladin-like style in my games, so I’m looking for recommendations on which sword and shields are not only fun to use but also reliable for taking into the Steel Path. Any favorites out there?

The Tenet Agendus is definitely worth considering, even if it’s technically a hammer and shield. Also, for the fashion lovers, Argo & Vel has a stunning design that’s perfect for mixing and matching.
While we don’t have many true sword and shield combos, I’ve been loving the Tenet Agendus and Argo & Vel. The latter, with its shield toss on heavy attacks, is a blast! Just keep in mind DE’s unique take on these weapons.
Honestly, the sword and shield choices don’t disappoint overall. I found Cobra & Crane a bit lacking in power, but most of the others, like Silva & Aegis (both versions), are great for the Steel Path—especially the Prime version with its higher base damage! Tenet Agendus takes a bit more work to get, but its heavy attack is fantastic for crowd control.
I frequently use Argo & Vel for its strong feel in combat. It’s just a solid choice overall.
If you want solid options, Silva and Aegis are currently top-tier in my testing. They’re one of my absolute favorites! Sigma and Octantis also pack a punch if you’re looking for variety.
They had one job with Silva and Aegis Prime, but they turned them into a hammer and shield instead! What a missed opportunity.
True, but at least they have the sword and shield skins! I really like using the Tenet Agendus with the Gaforn skin.
