He didn't cut off the omega effect since DS never even shot it, he put a forcefield next to his face as he tackled him.He used a weapon to open the armor as he tackled DS. Everything he did was in the space of one tackle.
I don't think the shovel would have done much to DS.
Yes, he damaged him and pretty much wrecked his armor in one move. That's how effective Raker was and lucky for Darkseid the Guardians intervened.
The shovel would have damaged him imo. If one tackle can destroy his armor and leave his face cracked that shovel was going to mess his face up even more.
