Linden Heart, Take the Blow

What it does

Your guard never breaks. When the shield's stamina cost outruns your stamina, the guard stays up, the unpaid part of the blow is half absorbed (instead of all of it going through), and there is no stun and no 1.2 s lock-out. While the guard is up you also can't be knocked back, flinched or staggered by blows on its face. At 0 stamina you still can't swing or dodge until it comes back.

Edge: Root-Deep

The unpaid part is 60 % absorbed instead of 50 %.
