What does a flaming shield during a dragon attack do?

Attack, defense, or both?

Well, Flaming Armor just increases defense now. I think this is a rework from the DCM, so it would have no attack ability during a dragon attack or any other attack, for that matter -- just double saves.

Not flaming armor, i mean the new flaming shield ability

No RexRanarum, you are confusing the spell Flaming Armor, with the Firewalker saves (aka Flaming Shields).

Again this is a case of general going into specific. Flaming Shields generate saves during a save roll. They generate melee during a melee roll. After a dragon attack, the army roll is a combination roll of melee, missile and saves. Any icon (including SAIs) that generate normal melee missile or save results are counts. Otherwise, an icon only generates results during a dragon attack if it specifically says it does, works during any roll, or works in any non-maneuver roll, or the like.

So in the case of a dragon attack, you can count Firewalker saves as saves or melee (but not both).

that means the flaming shield provides only saves during dragon attacks, right?
