A weapons trope. As Weapon-Based Characterization explains, a person's choice of weapon can say a lot about them, and using a sword and shield together frequently says "Knight in Shining Armor". It includes all the heroic meaning that Heroes Prefer Swords carries, plus the connotations of being a defender that go along with Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me. Sword and Shield users might liberally make use of Shield Bash in a fight and depending on the type of shield might engage in Throwing Your Shield Always Works. Then again, not everyone with this combination is necessarily good; it could just as easily be used in the hands of a Black Knight instead. Either way, people using swords and shields are usually "knightly" in some form or another. As noted frequently below, many of the shields of these combinations also serve as the scabbards/sheaths for the swords. This is usually done either because it's cool or rarely, the shield being the sheath allows for a Bifurcated Weapon/Mix-and-Match Weapon combination. Either way, it's a very practical Dual Wielding combination. Often called "Sword and Board" by tabletop game groups. Compare this trope with Sword/Shield Contrast, which discusses the competing connotations of the two items. Also see Choice of Two Weapons, which covers other dual-equipment setups. For contrasting tropes, see Primitive Clubs and Savage Spiked Weapons. |

In Guild Wars 2, Logan Thackary wields a sword and shield. Logan is the top warrior in Kryta, a Medieval European Fantasy Counter Part Culture, and is the bodyguard to the Queen, who he harbors a Bodyguard Crush for. He's also a Guardian, the closest thing GW2 has to a Paladin, a Magic Knight class themed around defense, similar to medieval ideas of knights. Overall, his character has a very strong knightly theme. | |

"Weapon and Shield" is one of the skill categories for the warrior class in the Dragon Age series, and a sword and shield build is intended as the Stone Wall of a party. In addition to defensive bonuses, the tree also features multiple varieties of just beating enemies to death with the shield itself. In addition to potentially the player character, several companions and NPCs are trained in it: Alistair, of Dragon Age: Origins, begins with Weapon and Shield talents. He is one of the more traditionally good party members and is a new recruit of the fabled Grey Wardens — an organization dedicated to fighting the monsters known as darkspawn. Loghain Mac Tir is similarly trained in these talents, and ultimately serves as a replacement for Alistair in the party if you should choose to spare his life. He is one of Ferelden's most skilled generals, and appointed as one of Ferelden's only two teyrns, making him a commoner raised to nobility. Far less heroic than Alistair, he makes numerous morally questionable choices, sells elves into slavery in order to evacuate them and fund the army, and ultimately hunts down the Grey Wardens in an effort to blame his retreat at Ostagar on them. Nevertheless, he is a man of honour, and willing to sacrifice his life for his duty at the end of the game if spared. Aveline Vallen was In-Universe named after Ser Aveline, a legendary figure and the first female member of the Chevaliers, an Orlesian knightly order. She becomes a guardsman, becomes guard-captain by mid-way through the first Act or before the second one (depending on whether her Act 1 sidequest is done), and is as such focused on law and order. She is also a Workaholic and Married to the Job. The only sword-and-shield party member in Dragon Age II, she has a personal tree that can be leveled, raising her tanking abilities and turning her from "guardsman" to "indestructible moving wall". Blackwall in Dragon Age: Inquisition is a Champion specialization and also fights with sword and shield as well. He's also someone who has dedicated his life to helping others and protecting the weak because he's not the real Blackwall. He's someone whose life was saved by the real Blackwall and is trying to make up for his past crimes. Cassandra also fights with sword and shield (or shield and other one-handed weapon) and uses the Templar specialization. As a Seeker of Truth, part of her job is to oversee the military branch of the Chantry (the primary in-game religion) and protect the innocent from harm. She takes her duties very seriously. Cullen usually functions as an advisor during Inquisition. However, there are a few times during the game when he takes an active role in the fighting, and whenever he does, he uses a sword and shield. The Iron Bull may comment, in dialogue with the Herald, that he could identify Cullen as a former Templar because of the specific way he holds his shield. Similarly to Blackwall, he is working to atone for prior misdeeds from his Templar days and considers protecting those weaker than himself and guiding those of lower rank to be an intrinsic part of this. |

In every game of the Monster Hunter series, the player can choose a combination of a short sword (compared to the usual BFS) and a shield. While less defensively capable than the Lance and Gunlance, it can still block some attacks, and is the only weapon that can use items while drawn; coupled with Wide-Range, they serve the same 'paladin' role as an actual RPG. The fourth generation added the Charge Blade, a larger version of it that stores energy with its sword strikes, which can then be either transferred to the shield for added defense, or both can be combined into a massive axe and the energy used for powerful attacks. | |

In Fire Emblem, the units most likely to have a shield in addition to their main weapon are the horse and armor knights and the "hero" class. Additionally, in the original continuity, the Fire Emblem itself is a magical shield that the main character uses in accord with his legendary sword. Marth, and his descendants Chrom and Lucina, all have shields in their most powerful forms. | |

A common build in all three Dark Souls-games, both among players and NPCs. A notable example is Artorias of the Abyss in his prime, although he gave up his shield to protect the young wolf Sif after his arm broke and he couldn't bear the burden. In III, Crestfallen Hawkwood uses this weapon type, though, ironically, it caused him to be kicked out of the Abyss Watchers, who style themselves after Artorias since they saw it as cowardly. | |

In SD Gundam Force, Zero is the epitome of the Knight in Shining Armor hailing from Lacroa, a magical society dependent on knights and magic to defend the royal family. Naturally, his weapon of choice is a shield and a Cool Sword. The shield also acts as the sheath. He ditches this while merged with the Feather Dragon for the Twin Buster Sword, a BFS Bifucurated Weapon, to reflect his transformation into Zero Custom. In the SD Gundam franchise, the Knight Gundam, whom Zero is partly based off of, also wields a sword and shield. |

In Diablo II, the Paladin (a classical religious warrior clad in full armour) is a defensive fighter with several useful skills requiring both a one-handed weapon and a shield. Though the example is a bit downplayed in the game: although the character can wield swords, his optimal weapon of choice is actually a scepter (a series of mace-class weapons that grants special bonus to Paladin's wielder). | |

RWBY: Jaune Arc makes use of a simple arming sword and collapsible heater shield which is a stark contrast to the other characters' Impossibly Cool Mix and Match Weapons. It puts a twist on the shield-as-sheath gimmick as the shield's collapsed form makes it into a scabbard. This is also weaponized into a Bifurcated Weapon in later volumes, as a means to give the sword a larger and heftier blade. The sword itself is named "Crocea Mors"note Which is Latin for "Yellow Death" and is said to have come from one of his ancestors. Jaune originally wanted to be a Knight in Shining Armor to the people of Remnant, and while undeniably a selfless and noble young man, he soon learns that heroism isn't all its cracked up to be. The Ace and Jaune's teammate/love interest, Pyrrha Nikos, is armed with Miló and Akoúo̱. Miló is capable of transitioning between three forms: a javelin, a Xiphosnote An ancient Greek straight shortsword, and a rifle; Akoúo̱ is a round shield. After Miló is destroyed during Pyrrha's death at Cinder's hands, Jaune uses the remaining parts of her weapons and armor to upgrade his own. |

In Tales of Vesperia the sub-weapon system has two characters who have shields alongside a sword; Estelle and Flynn. Flynn fits this the most, being an actual knight and certainly fitting the ideal of a Knight in Shining Armor. Estelle can also use rods, as the resident White Mage, but she's a virtuous young lady who will leap to rescue anyone in need of aid. | |

Downplayed with Kamen Rider Brave of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, who is themed after knights typical of Eastern RPG video games. He does have both a sword and a shield, but the arm-mounted shield is buckler-sized and doesn't really get a lot of use as a defensive measure, with Brave generally preferring full offense with his Cool Sword. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In the Thor movies, Lady Sif uses a sword and shield, and she's usually portrayed as the most dutiful of her friends (compared to boisterous Thor and Volstagg, dashing Fandral, and stoic Hogun). In Black Panther, T'Challa is a wise young king who wields a shield and iklwa (short spear) in duels. The Ax-Crazy Big Bad Erik Killmonger, by contrast, dual wields a sword and a sawn-off spear. |

Castlevania (2017): When Alucard decides to get off his drunken ass and starts fighting again in season 4, he carries his shield from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night alongside his sword. This increases his effectiveness in combat by giving him two weapons for defense and offense. Especially when he uses his Mind over Matter powers to turn his sword into a Flying Weapon. | |

In The Legend of Zelda, Link who is The Hero and often The Champion of Princess Zelda wields a sword and shield together with the most famous being the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. Darknuts are the elite knights of Ganon's demon army. While the lower-ranked ones only have a BFS, at mid-tier they gain shields, and the most powerful ones have shields and capes just for intimidation. In Oracle Of Ages, the fourth miniboss is a giant knight who boasts of his invincible sword and shield at the beginning of the battle. He then throws his sword at you, and it turns out his shield is less durable than his sword. After both weapons are broken, he becomes vulnerable to your own weapons. |

In Steven Universe, Rose Quartz could summon a shield from her gem, and she wielded a sword, marking her as the heroic, noble leader of a rebellion. However, it was the polearm and dual saber-wielding Pearl who compared herself to a knight, with Rose Quartz as her liege. Oddly, Rose's son Steven only uses the shield, and ended up giving the sword to his friend Connie—but when they fused to form Stevonnie, the weapons are paired together again. | |

Thanks to the modern era of Kamen Rider having a lot of weapons and interesting themes for each entry, a few of the knight-themed riders (or even Super Modes for certain Riders) usually have this as either their main weapon or a part of their arsenal. The first of these was Ren Akiyama, a Kamen Rider actually named Kamen Rider Knight from Kamen Rider Ryuki, whose Super Mode upgrades his Darkvisor with Darkvisorzwei, an arm-mounted scabbard/shield. It's also a Mix-and-Match Weapon as it can convert into a crossbow while the sword is still sheathed. His Palette Swap from the Non-Serial Movie, Kamen Rider Femme, is also armed with a rapier and can summon a shield to go with it. Also applies to their Kamen Rider Dragon Knight counterparts, Wing Knight and Siren, respectively. CycloneJokerXtreme, the Super Mode of the main protagonists from Kamen Rider Double, is armed with the Prismbicker with, as usual, the shield serving as the sword's scabbard. In Kamen Rider Gaim's summer movie, the knight-themed Kamen Rider Mars uses this weapon set. Mars' equipment then gets repainted and brought back in the first Gaim Gaiden spinoff DVD, used by Kamen Rider Idunn in the first half before being passed to the show's main knight Rider, Kamen Rider Baron, in the second. Gaining Ringo Arms, Sword Bringer & Apple Reflector. Once again, the shield doubles as the sword's sheath. Downplayed with Kamen Rider Brave of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, who is themed after knights typical of Eastern RPG video games. He does have both a sword and a shield, but the arm-mounted shield is buckler-sized and doesn't really get a lot of use as a defensive measure, with Brave generally preferring full offense with his Cool Sword. |

Seems to be JoCat's weapon across any game: In A Crap Guide to Monster Hunter, the Sword and Shield is the last weapon he covers and it is the one weapon where he drops the Caustic Critic act and heaps unconditional praise on. In fact, he insults you the viewer for not using it. In A Crap Guide to Dungeons & Dragons, he insists that Paladins who don't use swords and shields are "big smelly doodoo-heads". In A Crap Guide to Final Fantasy XIV, he says that the reason Paladin is the best Tank class in the game is because it specializes in using swords and shields. |

DC Extended Universe: Gal Gadot's Diana of Themyscira/Wonder Woman wields a sword and a shield in her appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Wonder Woman and Justice League, and she's very much a gender-flipped Knight in Shining Armor. The sword and shield were ditched for Wonder Woman 1984 to be closer to the "bracers and lasso fighter" versions of Wonder Woman however, per the director's taste. | |

Pokémon: Aegislash is a sword-and-shield Pokémon and can switch whether its offensive sword or defensive shield half is more prominent. Its Pokédex entry characterizes the species as loyal servants of kings. Pokémon Sword and Shield is set in the Poke-equivalent of England, which has a history of knights and heraldry. The featured Olympus Mons are the sword-wielding wolf Zacian and the shield-maned wolf Zamazenta. Also in Sword and Shield is Sirfetch'd, a regional evolution of Farfetch'd whose oversized leek had broken into 2 parts, of which the sharpened stalk is used as a sword and the hardened leaves are made into a shield. |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy: The Warrior class and its upgrade, the Knight, are the class with access to all of the game's swords and shields, including the iconic Excalibur. Tidus from Final Fantasy X is a variant who uses a BFS (that he wields one-handed) and a buckler, and at first doesn't fit the associated personality type, though he is one of Yuna's guardians. However, over the course of the story, he grows into a selfless hero. The Gladiators and Paladins of Final Fantasy XIV use Swords and shields. The latter having roots in a group of knights sworn to defend the sultana of Ul'dah. Dissidia Final Fantasy: The Warrior of Light, a knight-classic favor, carries a shield and sword into battle. He's notably the only sword-focused character in the game to use a shield. Dissidia NT also added Kam'lanaut, a villainous Archduke from Final Fantasy XI, his use of a shield alongside his sword feeding into his noble image. |

Super Sentai and Power Rangers occasionally have Black Knight antagonists with this weapon set, including (but not limited to) Geildon from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger/Zeltrax from Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, Wolzard from Mahou Sentai Magiranger/Koragg from Power Rangers Mystic Force, and Gaisoulg from Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger. Wolzard's shield serves as his sword's sheath. A heroic example is the Houou Blade and Houou Shield, the weapon of choice and Transformation Trinket of Houou Soldier, one of the Sixth Rangers of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. As the two are a pair, naturally the sword is sheathed in the shield. In fact, unsheathing the sword triggers the Transformation Sequence. Not quite a knight, but he is the Precursor Hero in the story, so he somewhat counts. Mahou Sentai Magiranger carries the other heroic example, also a red-themed warrior: The above mentioned Wolzard/Koragg, freed from his Brainwashed and Crazy state, rejoins his family and gains the power to transform into a red version of Wolzard, keeping the sword and shield. Applies as well to Power Rangers Mystic Force. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, also mentioned above, is themed around knights, and therefore features this trope rather prominently, especially with (most of) the RyuSouls. Aside from the characters, several mecha from across the franchise also wield this combo. Of note is GaoKnight from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, which is literally called a knight and has the Elephant Sword and Shield, normally an auxiliary component, equipped by default. |

In Dragon Project, the Light Burst Sword and Shield Behemoth, Light Airgetlam and his set invokes this trope's imagery, along with being slow yet tough and deadly. This is contrasted by his dark counterpart or rather his dark side, Dark Gauvain, the Dark Burst Great Sword Behemoth, who dual wields a pair of katanas, along with being deadly and agile yet fragile. The Earth Heat Sword and Shield Behemoth, Wretched Azdaja, has an armor set that makes your character look like a hybrid of The Paladin and a Dragon Knight, complete with dragon horns, wings, and a tail. |

In Oracle Of Ages, the fourth miniboss is a giant knight who boasts of his invincible sword and shield at the beginning of the battle. He then throws his sword at you, and it turns out his shield is less durable than his sword. After both weapons are broken, he becomes vulnerable to your own weapons. | |

Aside from the characters, several mecha from across the franchise also wield this combo. Of note is GaoKnight from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, which is literally called a knight and has the Elephant Sword and Shield, normally an auxiliary component, equipped by default. | |

Monica from the Fire Emblem: Three Houses fanfic The Ghost of Ochs favors using a sword and shield in battle, doing so mostly out of a desire to protect herself and others from harm, and also to differentiate herself from Byleth and Petra, who don't use shields to go with their swords. | |

Dissidia Final Fantasy: The Warrior of Light, a knight-classic favor, carries a shield and sword into battle. He's notably the only sword-focused character in the game to use a shield. Dissidia NT also added Kam'lanaut, a villainous Archduke from Final Fantasy XI, his use of a shield alongside his sword feeding into his noble image. | |

Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, also mentioned above, is themed around knights, and therefore features this trope rather prominently, especially with (most of) the RyuSouls. | |

Ash's Galarian Farfetch'd in Pokémon Journeys: The Series gets its leek broken in two pieces that he continues to use as sword and shield at Ash's suggestion. It then evolves into Sirfetch'd, turning the pieces into an actual sword and shield set. | |

Near the end of the Book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul makes a metaphor that describes virtues as armor protecting believers from spiritual attack. (He would have been referring to the equipment of Roman soldiers instead of knights, as knights came hundreds of years later, but the imagery of a righteous warrior is unchanged.) In addition to actual pieces of armor,note the "belt of truth", "breastplate of righteousness", "boots of peace", and "helmet of salvation" the gear includes the "shield of faith" and "sword of scripture". | |
