## Guide

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](/guides/Fq0e4oUr-wrestling "‌"))
