Dual Wielding Shields - Could THIS Make it Practical IRL?
You're probably seen the dual tower shield (AKA giant door) build in Dark Souls... Memes aside, I made a video about this topic back in 2017, and at the time some people I was being too dismissive and didn't give it a fair chance. Well...
Let's re-visit it then!
This time I have more appropriate designs for the task. Strapped arm shields that are equipped with a blade or spike on top. With those you could go fantasy brawler style and unleash your inner barbarian or something.
Time to test the idea in practice, meaning sparring against a fully resisting opponent. Is dual shielding effective? Let's find out!
