New page

This is a [[:category:Combat Skills|Combat Skill]] that [[Monk]]s and [[Puppetmaster]]s have. It decreases the amount of [[damage]] that the player takes from a melee hit when it activates, similarly to a [[Shield Skill|Shield]] Trigger.

There is no log message for guarding an attack; '''the only reliable way to tell is the absence of blood after an attack''' on your character.

Guard only works when the player is using a Hand-to-Hand weapon (or barehand).
The higher your [[Guarding Skill]], the better the chance that it will activate. Adding [[AGI]] was thought to increase its activation rate, but has not been shown definitively to do so.

* '''Guard Activation and Effect'''
** Opponent's attack must bypass the character's evasion, shadows (Blink/Utsusemi), and counter for this trait to trigger.
** Guard reduces damage by reducing the pDIF of the attack by 1.0. {{Verification}}
** This trait can activate on enemy TP attacks, completely nullifying the damage. The log will say "(Monster) uses (TP move), but misses (Player)". It is also possible to get a guard skillup from an AoE TP move targeted at someone else in the party (as long as Hand-to-Hand weapons/bare hands are drawn and facing the enemy).
** A guard proc on multi-hit TP moves will NOT nullify the full damage; it nullifies only 1 hit of a multi-hit TP move (though it is possible to proc on more than one hit).
** If under [[Petrification]], [[Sleep (Status Effect)]], [[Stun (Status Effect)]], or [[Terror]], characters will still be able to guard attacks just like any other defensive skill. If attacked and a character guards for "0" damage, the character will not wake up.
