= Blade Stop =

== Overview ==

Blade Stop is a defensive counter. The Monk drops into a brief stance and, if a melee attack lands during that window, catches it: attacker and Monk are locked together, neither able to move, until the Monk breaks the hold with a strike of its own. Higher levels widen the reaction window, extend the lock, and unlock stronger ways to end it.

== Mechanics ==

Casting the skill opens a short stance. Only a melee attack that arrives inside that window is caught.

* '''Stance window:''' 0.3 + 0.2 × SkillLv seconds
* '''Lock duration:''' 10 + 10 × SkillLv seconds

While the lock holds, both fighters are immobilised. The Monk can end it early by attacking, but only with the skills its Blade Stop level allows:

{| class="wikitable"
! Blade Stop level !! Skills usable during the lock
|-
| 2 || [[Finger Offensive]]
|-
| 3 || [[Finger Offensive]], [[Investigate]]
|-
| 4 || [[Finger Offensive]], [[Investigate]], [[Chain Combo]]
|-
| 5 || [[Finger Offensive]], [[Investigate]], [[Chain Combo]], [[Asura Strike]]
|}

Each of those skills ends the lock as it resolves. The skill can be cast with almost any weapon type, not just knuckles.

== Leveling ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Stance window !! Lock duration
|-
| 1 || 0.5 s || 20 s
|-
| 2 || 0.7 s || 30 s
|-
| 3 || 0.9 s || 40 s
|-
| 4 || 1.1 s || 50 s
|-
| 5 || 1.3 s || 60 s
|}

== Notes ==

* Level 4 is the practical breakpoint for combo builds, since it is the first level that permits [[Chain Combo]] out of the lock.
* Level 5 turns the hold into an opening for [[Asura Strike]], provided the requirements for that skill are already met.
* Ranged attacks do not trigger the catch.
