Guard Shift (Reyn)

Guard Shift is one of 's support Battle Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It involves him stabbing his weapon into the ground and using it as a shield to block attacks. He cannot do anything, not even move, until the art ends or is cancelled.

Overview
Guard Shift is best used when Reyn has all the aggro he needs for a little while, so he can afford to spend a bit of time not doing anything. In exchange, blocking all attacks greatly reduces the amount of aggro lost from taking damage, in addition to protecting Reyn from being toppled or similar. However, the art does nothing against ether attacks.
