You can knock a monster off balance when you attack it in Ignition Mode with the Triangle button while the monster is attacking, causing both attacks to clash.
Hitting a monster with certain attacks as they are attacking will cause the attacks to clash with each other, resulting into the monster getting off balanced. Offset Attacks can also be followed up with powerful unique attacks.
The Heavy Bowgun is a long-range weapon that has low mobility but can fire ammo from a distance. Its weakness is that it can be difficult to avoid attacks but this is mitigated with having an option to block.
Ignition Mode will allow you to fire special ammo by expending the Ignition energy gauge. The gauge will fill up over time and when you successfully land attacks.
While in Guard position, all attacks from the front will automatically get blocked with the Auto-Guard feature. Unfortunately, this doesn't guard attacks from the side or your back.
