Shield of Blades is a 1st-level ranger at-will attack power introduced in Martial Heroes 4. It is comparable to a melee basic attack with a defensive boost.

Shield of blades is rated as an average power, with its AC bonus seeming odd for a ranger, but it can sometimes help get out of a tight spot.^{[Charop Ranger]}
