Blocking and Perfect Blocks

The "perfect block" is a property of the block ability for shields and magick shields, useable therefore by Fighters and Mystic Knights.

Use
A perfect block activates if the block button is pressed as the attack connects (that is to say, within a mere few frames before it hits).

Effects
Success is signified by the Arisen flashing white briefly and grunting.

Unlike regular blocking, perfect blocking uses no Stamina.

Perfect blocking yields more powerful effects in tandem with other shield skills, such as Deflect, Reflect and the elemental counters of the Mystic Knight, such as Firecounter.
