Guard Break (T3 Weapon)
+ +10% melee damage
+ +15% melee resist
+ Passive: Upon meleeing a parrying opponent, break the parry and ignore its effects, but deal no damage and cannot melee for 4s after
- 24s cooldown
An item which allows melee users to more confidently melee against opponents capable of parry without necessarily avoiding the mechanic. Compared to previously when debuff resist shortened the duration of the parry stun, this has a cooldown and an unmitigable melee lockout. The main point of the item isn't to necessarily deal melee damage for free like during the debuff resist times, but to reduce the risk of near-guaranteed death that comes with getting parried by giving you 1-2 free throws per fight, depending on how long they last.
Parry counts as missed when broken, meaning it goes on cooldown. This allows rebuttal to still be valuable as it resets the parry cooldown faster than Guard Break's melee cooldown.
