I think a shield and sword together are better than a spear https://youtu.be/uLLv8E2pWdk?si=vXiyUTTnSbIq-vC8
Wait until you hear about Spears with shields.
Were they very common?
Ancient Greek and Rome used them quite a lot, as I know.
The famous Roman legion rarely engaged in formation combat with sword and shield, more often Fighting started with spear and shield and moved to sword and shield.
Also Vikings iirc
