Hi guys, I have a question abot three Fencer skills: Lunge, Esquive Toucher and Preparation
What I want to know is if their secondary effect(raise evasion, raise block) work even if it doesn’t hit the target, just to get the defensive buffs ?
Thank you
Preparation is a buff that deals x2 damage on your next Peirce attack. But during its animation(spinning your rapier arround) your block rate significantly increases with or without a shield equiped.
Thank you Karjalainen.
Do you know about the other two skills ? If they raise evasion even without hitting the monster ?
Nope, you must successfully hit the enemy first to increase your evasion with Lunge.

do you know how the block rate works. will it use con, and does it increase your blockrate by that much percentage.
We don’t know for sure about how many block we can gain, or whether CON affects it, or whether there’s another aspect. But from my experience, in order to have very high block, Peltasta c1 is a must for its passive attribute that gives 25% permanent bonus block. Besides that, you need to have at least 1000+ block to block all physical attacks with 90% success rate.
what if IMC buffs High Guard into perfect block for X amount of physical hits? like a safety wall.
As a Peltasta player, I completely disagree with that idea, it will make High Guard worse than before.
Before, you can block so many attacks during High Guard duration without using Shield Guard.
With your suggestion, Peltasta can only block a few attacks for a short duration and they will be vulnerable again without Shield Guard. Archers can simply auto attack them a few times and then start spamming other skills.
Your suggestion can work if it is a bonus effect. So, Peltasta with High Guard can have perfect blocks for the first few attacks and they will still have the bonus block for some duration. It’s basically a buff for High Guard.
IMC can simply make some changes for Fencer instead.
For example : a buff with an effect where each successful hit dealt by Fencer will increase their evasion or block gradually for a period of time.

you know the constant Fencer buff I always tell here is mobility not damage or defense
i just wish the timer would go up as you level it.
Thank you Erokhi, you helped me more than you can imagine 
side note dmg buff only applies for a single hit instead of an entire skill
You mean Preparation skill ?
Yeup the dmg buff from prep only affects one hit. Also you don’t have to block anything to proc the dmg buff
