Shield Arm

The Shield Arm is made from the Mystic Orb and the Marlwolf Shell in Mega Man Legends. It projects a shield "umbrella" for a limited time. It is considered by most to be virtually useless because of the following:
 * it cannot protect megaman from large shots (like those from Megaman Juno's)
 * it does not provide protection to megaman from explosions shots like grenades.
 * the smaller shots (like fireball) which the shield arm is capable of protecting megaman from are easier to dodge than block with the shield arm.
