EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 - Fencer Weapon: Grim Reaper Shield

Shield used by the elite Grim Reaper unit. It is said that those who bring this shield into battle will survive, no matter how violent the skirmish. This shield is made with special alloys, granting it high defensive power, though it heats up under concentrated fire. When it reaches its heat limit, it cannot be used until it finishes cooling. You can hold it at the ready by holding the attack button, lowering your damage received. Depending on your weapon, you can also attack with the shield up."
