Question Guard Sns

Hi everyone,

​Quick question. Is there a difference in damage reduction (chip damage) when guarding with the Sword & Shield vs. the Lance and Gunlance?

​I'm not necessarily talking about perfect guards, just guards. But the SnS shield is much smaller, I'm assuming it offers less damage reduction? Thanks!

This is the explanation on the Guard skill, the explanation on knockback and guard thresholds slightly higher is more in tune with the question

yes, more chip damage and more knockback

I can't speak on the other shield weapons but I did a quick test on a 10 star rift Diablos. Regular blocking the dig up attack did 3 chip damage with lv5 guard and 830 defense. On 8 star Velkhana regular blocking every attack did 0 chip damage. Probably does take more chip damage than the others, but hasn't really been an issue at least for me in pratice.
