Block and Slash is a warrior ability from the Two-Handed Weapon tree in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Information[]
- Damage: 150% weapon damage
- Cost: 10 stamina
- Upkeep: 5 stamina per second
Notes[]
- Upon activation, the warrior takes a defensive stance (performing no other actions), blocking the next incoming melee attack harmlessly.
- This stance can be toggled off to conserve stamina or do something else.
- When an attack is blocked, the warrior loses 20 stamina (value may change, depending on the attacking creature's rank.) If the caster has less than 20 stamina, the attack will still be blocked and the resulting counterattack made, and the caster's stamina will be reduced to 0.
