I never said all physical shields would block aoe. Lancelot's, for example, is so close that the explosion can still hit its face, and arms, and top. It's the Écu specifically that I feel should logically block splash, especially because of the afformentioned shock absorbers, the fact that the robot is still mostly behind it, and the fact that you have to give up a light or medium slot to do it- wait that's it! What if it was the medium slot Écu's that could block splash? It would make sense from a gameplay standpoint too, because as it stands, you're giving up a better slot for a shield that isn't any better than a light-slot equipped shield.
