Role in Plot[]
Felix showing off his Hardlight Shield to Washington
First appearing in the episode Neighborhood Watch, the light shield is mainly used by Felix. It seems to be one of Felix's preferred weapons/gadgets, as he uses it several times in battle, such as in Fire and Hit and Run.
After the Reds and Blues learn the truth of the Space Pirates involvement in the Chorus Civil War, the Blues and Carolina search for the UNSC Crashed Ship's manifest at Crash Site Alpha in Crash Site Crashers. When they are forced to escape when the Space Pirates find them, two Space Pirates use light shields to defend themselves from the group's fire and begin to slowly advance on the group. After joining with the Space Pirates, Sharkface was given the Light Shield which he used to defend himself in Temple of the Key.
During Fed vs. New, Felix demonstrates the ability to utilize the Light Shield as a weapon, clubbing Wash and Carolina with it several times. It appears to do very little damage, only staggering his opponents, suggesting it can be utilized best as a "disabling" weapon rather than a lethal weapon. In Great Destroyers, the light shield was shown to be powerful enough to protect both Felix and Locus from the Tartarus' destruction.
Earlier in said episode (Great Destroyers), when General Kimball and the united forces of the New Republic and the Federal Army of Chorus storm the Communication Temple, four Feds protect Kimball and the rest of their allies from the Space Pirates' oncoming fire by deploying shields.

Trivia[]
- In Great Destroyers, Kimball uses techniques similar to the Romans: using rectangle shields to block incoming fire and then launching an offensive.
- Felix using a blue glowing shield perfectly contrasts with Tucker's energy sword, which fits with the rivalry and hatred the two have for each other.
