What it does

Plant the shield (0.3 s, 20 stamina): the guard stays up without RMB until you end it. Guard arc 120 -> 160 degrees, block +0.10 (cap 0.95), and blows on the shield's face don't knock you back. LMB swings over the rim without lowering it: basic swings and Boss-Knock at x0.85 power (a shortspear thrusts at x1.0) with the wind-up 0.05 s longer. Move x0.45, no sprint; Space is Guarded Step if known, else nothing. Upkeep 2 stamina a second, on top of the guard's regen rule (x0.4). Ends when toggled, on a guard break, at 0 stamina, on a sprint, or with any Boss technique but Boss-Knock; Wall and Linden techniques keep it. Brace builds as with any block.

Edge: Locked Rim

Swings over the rim at x1.0 power instead of x0.85.
