MP Cost

300 Increase your Auto Attacks Skill Multiplier by +([0.1 * Skill Level] + BaseVIT/500). Auto Attacks

Hit Count

3 hits; damage calculation is done once, then divided between the hits

What it does

Changes auto attack motion. If main wp’s original auto attack range was beyond 3m then reduce the auto attack range down to 3m; no change otherwise. Fortunately, Power Wave still works normally during this auto attack motion changing buff.. Disables Manual Guard stance, but will automatically Guard any attacks (Light Armor = Front; Heavy Armor = Any Directions) as long as both shields are present during idle/running or auto attack only.. Dual Shield's “Auto-guard” will consume Guard gauge upon taking damage. Guard gauge consumption of this skill when taking damage will be halved(seem like always Perfect Timed Guard all the time in auto guard huh).. Dual Shield's "Auto-guard" has Guard MP Recovery.. Other than that, the rest(guard ailment resist, etc.) are pretty much the same as normal guard.

Heavy Armor bonus

removes auto attack interval delay and allow automatic Guard from any direction instead of only from the front. You cannot use this skill if you get inflicted with “Armor Break” Ailment or “Guard Power Break”.. Cannot be reactivated while the buff is still active; also cannot be activated while another auto attack motion change buff (Rampage, Twin Storm, Knife Combat, Minstrel Songs) is active

Buff

ASPD -[150 - (10 * Skill Level) - (2 * Shield Refine Level)]%. Accuracy +[(10 * Skill Level) + Shield DEF]

Buff Duration

[10 + (2 * Skill Level) + Shield Refine Level] sec OR [until you get inflicted with “Armor Break” Ailment or “Guard Power Break”] OR [until you use "Belagerung" Shield Skill]
