Guarding teammates?

[Papi]

Has anyone tested if we can protect teammates from certain attacks with guard from classes like Lance or others?

[Mechanique]

Yes, certain attacks can protect potential teammates with possibly the guard from classes like Lance or maybe others

You can protect from with projectiles by guarding, but you cannot protect from melee unless the guard triggers a clash.

You can protect with offset attacks if it triggers a knock down of the monster.

Then they were in front of you and took the hit BEFORE the clash happened.

If you clash the attack still hits whatever it was going to hit. I´ve gotten a clash with Arkveld, another hunter who was diagonally behind me got hit and thrown away.

Only noticed this once, so it may be a networking thing. But i´m strongly leaning towards the attack still going through except for the one that initiates the clash.

From guard? I don't believe so. The attacks are area effects and will hit the guy behind you.
However from a power clash, or offset attack you can.

A well placed flash can save an ally, another thing you can do is use skills that make the monster target you,.
