Hello,

as far as I understand the rules, the way Dual Shield works it that you can't have a Melee weapon and a Dual Shield shield at the same time.

Dual Shield: A keyword power that heroes can have. The controller of a hero with dual shield can have two Shields without violating uniqueness. Adding a Melee weapon or another Off-Hand equipment causes a uniqueness violation.

I would like to make sure that this really is supposed to mean that you can't have a Netherwing Protectors Shield and a weapon at the same time? It just feels more logical that you could either have Shield + Weapon and Shield + Shield.

As I guess this is working as intended is there a reason for this design of the game mechanic you can tell us?

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure you can have the Dual Shield keyword power and still have a shield and melee weapon. What you can't do is have two shields and then "add" a melee weapon.

You have two shields and the Dual Shield power =  No Uniqueness Violation.
You add a melee weapon(two shields and a weapon) or an off-hand item(two shield and an off-hand item) = Uniqueness Violation.

Ok, then I get it.

The sheet in 405.1 is kinda confusing with Dual Shield only listing the combination of Shield + Shield but nothing else.

However all the other "Dual" things do not list the standard combination "Melee + Offhand".

Thanks you, I clearly misunderstood this part.
