Block (リフレクトガード Rifurekuto Gādo?, lit. "Reflect Guard"), also known as Guard, is a skill introduced in Kingdom Hearts. It allows the user to block many frontal attacks with their weapon.

Mechanics

In Kingdom Hearts, Guard is an combat ability that costs 2 AP to equip. It is a single blocking swing triggered by pressing Square while standing stationary.

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Guard is an enemy card effect that costs 40 CP to equip and lasts for one reload. It blocks all frontal attacks, nullifying damage.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Guard is an action ability that costs 2 AP to equip. It is triggered by pressing Square while standing stationary, and holding the button extends the duration of the block.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Block is an ability panel. It is triggered by pressing Y while standing stationary, and holding the button extends the duration of the block. It can be upgraded from Block LV1 up to Block LV2, Block LV3, and Block LV4 by linking Block LV+ Ⓛ (ガードアップⓁ Gādo Appu Ⓛ?, lit. "Guard Up Ⓛ") panels to it. Increasing the ability's level increases blocking speed and decreases the recoil that occurs after a successful block. It can also be linked to various sub-panels, which can be synthesized at the Moogle Shop.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Block is a defense command that has a maximum level of 3. It is triggered by pressing Square while standing stationary, and holding the button extends the duration of the block.

In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Block is a Bonus Booster ability that is triggered by pressing Y while standing stationary. Holding the button extends the duration of the block.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Block is a defense command that is triggered by pressing Y while standing stationary. Holding the button extends the duration of the block.
