The clue
One you cross when you argue, one a police badge is shaped like — and heraldry wants both.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.

The answer
2 words, hitting 136 exactly: SWORD + SHIELD.
S19W23O15R18D4= 79
+S19H8I9E5L12D4= 57
SWORD 79 + SHIELD 57 = 136. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
