What it does: Improves guarding performance under the conditions and levels described in game.
Who should consider it
- Lance and Gunlance pressure plans
- Charge Blade guard-focused play
- Shielded Heavy Bowgun setups when compatible
When it is less useful
It does not make every attack safely guardable and should not replace knowledge of stamina, chip damage, direction, or special requirements.
Useful pairings
- Guard Up when the matchup requires it
- Stamina and recovery comfort
- Damage after the intended guard reaction is achieved
How to evaluate it
- Test the exact matchup attack.
- Watch stamina and chip damage.
- Use only enough support for the desired reaction.
