Skill to auto guard?'

[Guizin]

I remember in MH3U there was a skill that would automatically guard against attacks if you were using a weapon with a shield. Is this skill present in MHW?

[KookyMonke_Gaming]

Doesn't seem like it.

There is not a skill for it, but heavy bowguns equipped with a shield will do that.

HBG shield will auto block if not firing. Sword & Shield, Greatsword, Charge Blade, Gunlance, and Lance have to manually use the block button in order to block.

I can't remember what its called but there is a skill that will block an attack that would cart you, I doubt if that's what your looking for though.

it's called guts. It's on the teostra armor. Don't remember if there's a jewel version of it but if there were I'd wager it be a level 3.

I thought Teostra's set bonus was the one where you don't lose sharpness when you hit a weakspot? Guts is from Bazel's set, where an attack that would kill you (when above a certain hp limit) will instead reduce you to 1hp.

It wasn't automatic in MFHU. It was more like if you were doing nothing then it autoblocks but when you are attacking or reloading or if you are doing something it doesn't autoblock.

That MH3U version of autoguard seems pretty damn strong.

Only HBG in MHW can autoguard. It functions the same way it did in MFHU. You got to stand still.

Ah right. My bad, I've running the HBG set on the arena with dual Diabloses, (ARENA Arena, not the special quest Arena.) The HBG set had the teostra body that left that impression on me that it had Guts.

(Also I watched the CSGO FaceIt Major and am drained mentally. So cheers for the correction.)

I'd also like to mention that the CB has certain attack animations that allow you to block for a brief moment as well. As in, when your shield is in front of you during the attack animation.

they are called guard points
