Oh, I meant using both the shovel and the axe.

Basically what I was thinking is use the lock aesthetic as a way of having a number of collapsable plates which can partially expand for the shovel or fully expand into a larger axe; combining both an extension of the shackle for axe form and a second collapsable shaft for your shovel. A combination of the two variants you have presented.

Rather than use a heavy Dust cannon, have a dispenser built in with just one or two elements (different one for each melee form) and make a character like Jaune or Cardin whose specialty is melee combat, and kitted out in heavy armor.

Go full melee tank; since we don't see a ton of those floating around.
