Throne and Liberty (TL)

Block Rate Guide

Add to Watchlist

As of March 2025, Game8 has ended coverage of Throne and Liberty.
Thank you very much for your understanding and we hope you continue to enjoy Game8's guides!

Block Rate Guide

Block Rate refers to the chance of blocking enemy attacks using a Sword and Shield weapon type in Throne and Liberty (TL). View this guide to learn how Block Rate works, and how Shield Block Chance and Shield Block Penetration Chance stats work in the game!

What is Block Rate?

Percentage of Blocking Hits

Block Rate refers to the chance or how much you can block enemy's attacks. This stat is only applicable when a player has a Sword and Shield weapon type equipped.

How to Block and Parry

Shield Block Chance and Penetration Chance Rates

Increase Shield Block Chance to Block Enemy Attacks Often

The Shield Block Chance stat refers to the rate or how likely you can block enemy attacks using a Shield.

Take note that the block chance increases and damage taken from enemy hits are decreased after a successful block! It can also prevent CC effects, except for the Weaken debuff.

Keep Shield Block Penetration Chance at 0%

This stat refers to decreasing the chance to block an attack with a shield, and will go up once the player has been inflicted with a debuff, causing enemies to pierce through the player's defense the higher this stat's percentage is.

This can be prevented by raising your Defense stat permanently by assigning stat points, or temporarily by eating food that boosts up Defense or using Quality Defense Remedies!
