Blockbreaks / Guardbreaks

This is when your block is broken. You take full guard break damage, and get stunned for ~2 seconds.

• You do not take block chip damage on guardbreaks
• M2s always break your block, so you must either parry, dodge, or hit them before theirs lands.
• M1s can break your block if you run out of enough posture to do so (<10)

There’s a perk for combat styles that affect the guard break damage, HeavyHitter:

• Heavy Hitter I: +5% guardbreak damage (N/A)
• Heavy Hitter II: +10% guardbreak damage (N/A)
• Heavy Hitter III: +15% guardbreak damage (Wrestling)
