Guard and Perfect Guard

Blocking and precisely timed parries in Lies of P combat.

Guarding is P's basic defence in Lies of P: raising his weapon blocks a blow at the cost of stamina and a little health, and the health lost becomes Guard Regain, which he can win back by hitting the enemy. A Perfect Guard, timed just before an attack lands, stops all the damage for only a sliver of stamina.

Background

Perfect Guards can interrupt enemy attacks, stagger foes and even break their weapons, and one achievement rewards destroying a weapon that way. Upgrades on the P-Organ slow how fast Guard Regain drains away.
