Can you use a dagger with a shield?
There are no rules connecting shields and thrown weapons.
Can you use a rapier and a shield?
Is there a New World shield without sword option? The only way to use a one-handed sword without the shield in New World is to use the rapier, which is the only available one-handed sword that can be used on its own. Currently, the sword is the only weapon in-game that you can use with the shield.

3 Answers. According to the RAW in order to use a shield (6 lbs) and a dagger (light) weapon to attack in the same round, you would need the feat Dual Wielder.

Should I use a shield in New World?
Kite Shields are the middle ground, the most balanced option for players. They don’t excel nor underperform in any category.
Should I wear a shield in New World?
There is no reason to equip a shield in New World if you aren’t specializing in Sword & Shield combat. Unlike other open-world games like Skyrim, there is no benefit to equipping a shield. Without the specialization, you will not gain the defense stats or perks on your shield.
Do you prefer a spear and shield or a sword/hand weapon?
That being said, in battles with mock weapons, I have found a sword/hand weapon and shield a better combo than a spear and shield as the spear and shield is more unwieldy and is easily grappled. But a spear by itself or a longer polearm is often more deadly than either, due to the fighting styles.
Is there any advantage of a shield over a sword?
With swords, you can’t really hold them out like that to receive a charge. In individual combat, sword/shield might have an advantage in some way, mainly because there are so many places and ways to strike with a sword compared to a spear that really only has thrusts, thus making a swordsmen more deadly.

Well look no further than the Yngling Seax, as this dagger is a must for anyone running a more aggressive playstyle. With the ability to launch fast, quick hit and run attacks, this short range dagger is perfect for taking on multiple enemies at once.
What is the best heavy shield to pair with Blacksmiths hammer?
As we mentioned in the section above, the Blacksmith’s Hammer pairs very well with the Plank and Buckler Heavy Shield. When combining the shield’s Perk of Increased Heavy Damage when Parrying and the Blacksmiths Hammer’s ability to have Heavy Critical Hits Knock enemies on the ground, it’s hard not to imagine the powerful combinations on offer.
