Can anyone confirm this please?
If I don't take any class that is able to use shield, BUT I take synchro thrusting skill, do I still be able to get the effect of its second attribute Synchro Thursting Pierce attribute if I purchase it and activate it?

Thanks in advance!!

The attribute would only work IF you used Synchro Thrusting, unfortunately.

Sure, the attribute would remain active. It's just that you wouldn't receive its effect unless you used the skill, which in turn requires a shield (along with a sword/spear).

As renseiryuu said, you need to actually use the skill to get the effect of the attribute. This requires spear/sword+shield.

BUT you can use 1h spear + shield with hoplite anyways. So you can e.g. use a 2h spear as primary weapon and swap to spear+shield just for Synchro Thrusting, then swap back.
I assume you've got the Weapon Swap attribute already?
