* Both Sophitia and Cassandra of ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'' have throws that involve shoving their opponent away and hurling their shield at them. Cassandra -- who uses these attacks much more heavily -- will {{Lampshade|Hanging}} it in ''VideoGame/SoulCaliburVI'', asking herself if she's even using her weapons correctly as her BondOneLiner after defeating an opponent with her [[LimitBreak Critical Edge]], which involves not only throwing her shield at the opponent but repeatedly bouncing it at them.

* [[BadassAdorable Poppy, the Keeper of the Hammer]] in ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' uses this occasionally as part of her reworked kit. Every few seconds, rather than attacking with her [[DropTheHammer gigantic warhammer,]] she will instead throw her buckler at her target at significantly further range, doing bonus damage. It then lands on the ground nearby for her to pick up to gain a shield. If it kills the target, it [[BizarreAndImprobableBallistics returns to her hand,]] automatically granting the shield.

* ''Manga/InuYasha'': While its not a shield per se but rather a giant magical BattleBoomerang by technicality, the Hirokaitsu used by Sango is so large she also uses it as a literal shield when the need arises. It even has a strap that can be used to carry it on one's back and a handle which is needed to throw it because of its sheer size and weight thus literally simulating a kite or tower shield when Sango uses it in a defensive manner. Primarily used as an offensive weapon, she can even use other functions associated with shields using the Hirokaitsu such as ShieldBash.
