Trying to think of what aliens use for personal weapons between the "Bows and swords" and "Lasers and mass drivers." I'm thinking spring launched flechetes in pre-loaded cartridges which are wound in a factory.

Cover the shield in thorny bristles which are in fact spring loaded flechettes.

If the shield is tough enough, claymore shields might be an interesting idea, both as ERA and anti-personnel weapons.

The shield is designed to absorb blasts, the front toward enemy side is a directional mine. Only works once, but discourages charging.

It can also defend itself from primitive anti-armor rockets, but not modern tandem warhead rockets. For those you need laser point defense, which means you need a vehicle for the power source.
