What can't the chargeblade block

[Foxhound]

I've been using the chargeblade for a while with guard 5 and I've noticed that some beam attacks I can block and others I cannot ( I cannot block velkana but I can block some of the rajang beams) is there a list that would help me understand this better?

[Suzaku]

It blocks all the same things that any other shield can block, and as with those shields, there are attacks that are unblockable unless you get the skill/armor set that adds Guard Up so that unblockables can be blocked.

Assuming this list is complete and accurate:

Monster Attacks that require Guard Up to Block
Teostra Supernova and Flame Shower
New Master Rank Black Diablos Charge (Plants hands and then charges)
Vaal Hazak Effluvial Cloud
Deviljho Pin and Devour Attacks
Kirin Straight Heavy Lightning Bolt
Xeno'jiva Continuous Horizontal Laser beam (Fire Balls, and Vertical Beams do not require Guard Up to block)
Kulve Taroth Fire Breath
Behemoth Belly-flop and Ground Fireburst
Velkhana's Ice Breath
Shara Ishvalda's Laser Attacks
Safi'Jiiva Laser Attacks
Rajang & Furious Rajang Lightning Beam
Anjanth Pin Attack
Raging Brachydios Final Area Explosion Attack
Rathalos, Silver Rathalos & Azure Rathalos Pin Attack
Blackveil Vaal Hazak Laser Attacks
Kushala ground charged Wind Blast
Radobaan Sleep Spray
Uragaan Gas and Burning Gas Attack
Alatreon Exploding Circle Attack, Ice Breaths and Sweeping Fire Breath
Fatalis Charged Fire Breath

Monster Attacks that can't be blocked with Guard Up

Namielle Water Pulls
Savage Deviljho Pin Attack
Shara Ishvalda Nova
Zinogre & Stygian Zinogre Pin Attack
Velkhana Slow Freeze Breath and Nova
Frostfang Barioth ice pools
Safi'Jiiva Sapphire of the Emperor
Alatreon Escaton Judgement
Fatalis Pin Attack and Novas

Use Guard Up, which iirc you can get it in the melder with no RNG involved.

As for absolutely unblockeable attacks, there's Frostfang's and AT Velkahana ice breath towards the floor and that's it pretty much, not counting novas and the like, however without Guard Up there's like 5 or 8 more attacks that can't be blocked I think?, AT Velkhana lazer for example being one of them.

Reminder that blocking require stamina. If the attack drains too much stamina you will take the hit instead. MR Kulve body slam comes to mind.

Thanks for clarifying and sending the link I wasn't aware that guard up and guard were completely different skills. The names in this game get confusing at times

[Suzaku]

Yeah, Guard Up allows you to block (most) unblockable attacks. Guard makes you better at blocking by reducing the stamina cost of blocking, and how much impact attacks have on you, which results in faster recovery animations and reduces the amount of chip damage from the attack.

just use guard up on every cb build you have problem solve.
