If there is no special ability, even something more basic than other weapons, then it is hard to see what is so useful about it. Seems absurd for his weapon to be nothing more than a durable sword and shield.

And yet he was still able to kill an Ursa Major by blocking its claw and then chopping off its head, with limited help from Pyrrha. If Jaune had accepted her help earlier, she probably wouldn't have needed to help at all.
