The rules are as follows:

Normal Sudoku rules apply

Cells separated by a king's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.

Thermometer digits must strictly increase from the bulb end. The shield is made up of two therms, each sharing the bulb and the tip. Within the sword, a second thermometer begins. I've added a dark thin line to show the full length of that thermometer. There are no additional rules from the line, just demarkation to make seeing the therm easier.

Pink lines are renban lines. All digits along the line must be consecutive in any order.
