Shield is for Melee Combat. For UA you don't need a shield.
So, shield enables you to use the Shield manuever, which is the Melee version of manuevers you use when you go unarmed.
Without a shield, your Melee Combat is useless when someone punches you, and your UA counts. If you have 1 UA, and go full melee, say 100 melee, someone with even 5 UA can destroy your defense in one hit if you don't have a shield.
Edit: Oh yes, and when you have 100 melee and use shield manuever, your defense is same as 125 UA and dodge manuever.
