Guard/Shield

Guard/Shield is currently the only defense oriented style in the game.

Appearance
This weapon appears to be a knight's shield of sorts with small indents cut into the top. The middle has a small cutaway with a glowing yellow accent.

Playstyle
Shield orbs will be spawned during combat.

When a player touches one of the glowing yellow shield orbs, they will be launched slightly upwards into the air. By hitting an orb, the player will gain 10% guard. This can be stacked up to 100% guard at which all damage will be negated. The percent on your guard will determine what percent of the damage taken will be negated. After being hit, your guard is reset to 0.

Your guard will deteriorate 10% every 20 seconds. It will be displayed as indicated by the image to the left above the player's head.

Trivia
Considered one of the 4 original classic styles from when the game was first started.
