Perfect Guard

Perfect Guard refers to the small time frame after the shield is held up in which all types of attacks are completely blocked (meaning no damage is received from those attacks) and all melee attacks bounce (regardless of whether the attack is a Power Attack or not).

Perfect Guard does not occur naturally and is a mechanic unique to shields.

When Perfect Guard is triggered, a different "block" effect is played. The effect consists of a translucent blue sphere that expands overtime.
