Reflex guard
Reflex guard,[1] also known as quick guard, is a mechanic in Magical Starsign.
Gameplay
A reflex guard is performed by tapping on a party member the moment an enemy's attack registers. This reduces the physical or magical damage the character will receive by 25%. However, magic attacks may have animations that change the placement of the character's hitbox, such as zoom-ins. Performing a reflex guard does not directly counter the effects of starsigns, nor does it prevent or reduce susceptibility to status effects.
If a reflex guard is used while the character is already guarding, it becomes a just guard, stacking to reduce damage by 75%. This effect also applies to Mokka's cross guard skill that he acquires from the gaian brace, which will reduce damage by 115%.
