Use a one-handed sword and shield across the three selected advanced classes. Peltasta supplies the defensive and gathering foundation; Rodelero and Murmillo add the named shield attacks. The allocations are complete at their stated 45-point budgets. Optional extra points and newer equipment progression are separate decisions.

How to use this setup
- Equip the shield, prepare Hard Shield and Guardian, and use Cassis Crista for the selected Murmillo arrangement.
- Use Swash Buckling to collect a manageable group, then adjust its position before committing area attacks.
- Use Shield Push when its debuff is useful, followed by the available Shooting Star, Targe Smash and Shield Bash attacks.
- Use Shield Train to gather suitable enemies, then Scutum Hit and Butterfly in their usable ranges; spend Frenzied Burst only when its landing position is safe.
- Refresh defence when needed, use Slithering or movement for the encounter, and avoid removing the shield while depending on its buffs.
Priorities and progression
- Physical attack and STR support the selected physical skill route.
- Shield Physical Defense is an offensive as well as defensive input for several named shield skills.
- Maintain adequate Accuracy, Critical statistics and survivability for the actual area. Inspect attributes and Arts separately from the base skill-point allocation.
Read each allocation as its own budget
The three advanced-class lists each total 45 points. The number beside a skill is a target allocation within that class, not a shared level or a free item bonus. Secure the class levels and points before reproducing the full set; add optional bonus points only after checking their actual unlock.
Preserve the equipment that activates the kit
Hard Shield depends on the equipped shield. The shield-attack attributes and individual skills may also use its defence. A weapon swap made for a larger attack figure can therefore remove the interaction you were trying to improve. Compare the whole arrangement and keep both active weapon sets compatible when using them.
