Notes

• The player will be forced to pause momentarily whenever this skill blocks damage. For example, if the user is attacking a monster while this skill is activated and they guard an attack, they will stop attacking the monster for a brief period of time.
• If the user was standing still or running when this skill blocked an attack, they will still be penalized with a short period of time until they can attack or use skills.
• Has the same properties as Auto Guard for blocking damage, such as how an attack following Lex Aeterna will remove its effect if blocked.
• If this skill blocks an attack while its user is casting an interruptible skill, the skill will be interrupted.
• If this skill blocks an attack while the user is running, they will appear to stop quickly while the blocking animation plays, causing awful position lag. They are not actually stopped: the flinch caused from this skill blocking an attack stops a player from being able to attack for a short time, but does not immobilize them even if it appears so.
• This skill will not block High Speed Cart Ram, Soul Destroyer or Acid Bomb at all.
• This skill works even if a player is under the effect of status such as frozen or stone cursed.
