Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord – Blocking Basics

1 17

In order to block, you need to match the direction of an incoming attack. If someone is swinging at you from the left, then you have to block towards the left. If someone is swinging overhead, then you need to block upwards. The system is very simple, but you do need to be quick.

 

If you are the defender then you can use a shield. With the shield, you do not have to worry about the direction of the attack. With the shield, there is a high chance that you can block incoming attacks even if you do not match the direction of the attack.

 

Shields can also be used to block incoming ranged attacks. Note that you can be shot in exposed areas. If the shield is small and you are covering your chest, then you can get shot in the leg. You can crouch while using a shield, and this will make you a smaller target and hence harder to hit.

 

 

Active Block

The active block is the one that you perform at the last second. The attacker is going to have to wait longer before attacking again.

 

 

Passive Block

If you block continuously, then the block is passive. The attacker stun is shorter, and he can attack again much quicker.
