Block:

- L2 (PS4) LT (Xbox) 

- You can block with all weapons, even with the longsword. The best course is the sign - Each block consumes stamina. Blocking is generally more advisable for example block off a severe attack of the enemy, this is for a short time out of balance - which of course allows a quick counter-attack, which then also applies.

- If he approaches so suppressed L2 or LT to block order and then when it is lit (red) - R2 or RT (Xbox) touch only briefly - then immediately perform a Mighty Blow - out attack, this also cancel ability attacks. - If the opponent off balance (by block), so it lights the way yellow. (Endurance Cost for "block" and "attack interrupt") 

Dodge:

- Each evasive maneuver costs perseverance: With the key command L2 + X (Touch) or (X-Box) LT + A (Tap). Such a role is carried out. If you are attacked by a group of enemies at the same time, then you can free from the grip - with L2 + R2 or LT + RT ,
