Shield Bash
For ascetics, roleplaying, and combat purposes, I think this would help immerse players with their role as a Greek Hero
For controls, I'd say the best would be if you click the attack button while blocking should activate it.
As for the resulting effects from a successful shield bash, I honestly have no idea. Maybe damage? Maybe a short stun? Maybe a knockback? Actually, I think the knockback would be the best way to implement it with maybe a small bit of damage attached to it.
If my earlier Friendly Fire suggestion is accepted by the community, I'd say that shield bashing should cause a stumbling back animation in the enemy and allow blocking attacks throughout the animation.
If the enemy have a shield and is actively blocking, and assuming the game has a stamina system, it should decrease their stamina and (when their stamina hits zero) knock aside their shield, leaving them defenseless.

KillaZillaJust wanted to post an updated recommendation here. After actually playing the game I would recommend setting this to the heavy attack button while holding the shield attack.
This is because if my other idea is accepted (the one about attacking while shielding) I'd recommend a signing that to the light attack button while shielding
I would also add if you are attacked while doing a shield bash, you should still be able to block the attack but take increased stamina damage -

DaveI do wonder if the things unlocked at 15+ will be things like a shield bash. So like, at level 15 shields, you've used it enough to know how to bash with it? I like that idea.
