Ogre braced against the brawler's shield, putting its entire weight to push the gear back. It was shorter but heavier, and was moved only a couple of meters before regaining its footing. At this point Ogre attempted to dodge around the enemy, towards its blind side and now broken arm, but a hit below its own shield stopped Kiril in his tracks, the hit leg almost bucking under the strain.

Yes, the shield was just a first layer of defense, and had no impact on the brawler's offensive capabilities. Kiril's instuments read that Ogre's heavy armor took most of the hit, but one more in the same location would disable its leg, or worse. Then again, it was obvious what was going to happen now. 

Ogre's accelerometers picked up the slightest movement when the brawler leaned back for another strike, and at that exact moment its left hand shot towards the enemy's face, as the right grabbed onto the shield. Its feet dug into the ground, Ogre pushed and pulled, to turn the brawler when it is off balance, and a loud concussive blast shot out of the hand against the brawler's face.
