Block is a Bushido or Ninjitsu special move that was added during the Samurai Empire expansion in the fall of 2004. It requires 50 Bushido or Ninjitsu skill to execute.
Effects
On executing a successful block, players will receive a bonus to their defense chance, which scales with their Ninjitsu or Bushido skill for a short duration. Players will also receive a temporary penalty to their hit chance and damage. While under the block effect, the next damage the player receives will be severely reduced. Damage reduction scales with Parrying skill above 70. The block lasts for 6 seconds after striking.
This special move is counterintuitive as it is activated upon a successful strike. It is effectively an anti-Hit Lower Defense.
