Recent Block

Recent Block is a combat status and a reaction trigger. A Recent Block occurs when a character or creature is in an aggressive stance (forward, advance, or offensive) and successfully blocks an attack. If the character knows any Reaction skills, they will see a prompt for one after the block success message.

Some Reaction skills require the attacker to have a Recent Block, while others will require the target to have a Recent Block.
