I had started this pic literally 5 years ago, and it languished for a while. Now and then I would add a little bit more. It was originally intended to be a full scene with changelings in battle, but that would probably take another 5 years.

If you played WoW, you may recognize the shape of the blade. The hilt is based on Cadance’s cutie mark, like Shining’s shield is based on his.

And also, I saw your point, but I think having aggressor and defender qualities makes a balanced game.

I’m aware, but I’m saying they could both have a shield and sword. That’s what I’m meaning. I know they aren’t, but honestly I could see them with them.

I think you’re somewhat missing my point, though. They’re not portrayed with both sword and shield here; only Cadance has a weapon and only Shining Armor has a shield. In this way, they invert the typical gender dynamic of “aggressor” and “protector”.

Sword of a Thousand Truths?

Most of my knowledge of WoW comes from South Park.

It’s Admiral Taylor’s greatsword.

Sure, but I was referring to this image in particular.

I think both can be protectors and aggresors.
Cadence with her crystal shield and sword and Shining with his sword and shield.
Balanced style.

Nice little gender-role inversion here; it’s more common to the portray the female character as the “protector” and the male as the “aggressor”, but here we have Shining with the shield and Cadance with the sword.
