About it

A heraldic shield carries a coat of arms, a painted design that showed who a knight was, even when a helmet hid the face. Heraldry has its own words: the background is the field, and a shape on it is a charge. A chevron is an upside-down V, a bend is a stripe from corner to corner, a saltire is an X-shaped cross, and per pale means split down the middle.

Tap it and it takes an unseen knock right where you tapped: it jolts and rocks away from the blow, sparks spray off the spot, and a gleam sweeps across the emblem. Pick one of seven designs and the colors of the field and the charge in the Splash tab.
