'''Blitz Shield''' is a [[Guard|defensive]] move that appears in the [[Guilty Gear series|''Guilty Gear'']] series, currently exclusive to the ''[[Guilty Gear Xrd]]'' games. At the cost of some [[Tension]], it repels certain attacks and stuns the enemy.

== Overview ==
Blitz Shields can be used by pressing {{button|hs}} + another attack button ({{button|p}} or {{button|k}} or {{button|s}}) in a neutral state on the ground or in the air; crouching requires {{button|down}} or {{button|down-r}} as well. Using up 25% Tension, the move places the character in a defensive state that will repel the opponent's attack and stun them, which may help gain momentum. However, the repelled opponent (temporarily invulnerable to Throws) can respond with a Blitz Shield themself. It does not protect against Throws, maxed Blitz Attacks, or [[Overdrive Attack]]s. In ''Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator-'', successfully shielding an attack hit will regain half the Tension used (12.5%) and a bit of [[Burst Gauge]].

Furthermore, in ''Revelator'' and its [[Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2|update]], guarding with a Blitz Shield while on the ground enables the player to perform a '''Blitz Attack''' {{j|ブリッツシールド チャージアタック|Burittsu Shīrudo Chāji Atakku|Blitz Shield Charge Attack}}.<ref name="4g">[https://www.4gamer.net/guide/ggxrd/031723056/ 5. 守り方の基礎 -「GUILTY GEAR Xrd」シリーズ公式攻略サイト]</ref> Holding the {{button|hs}} button will charge the Blitz Attack (until the character glows red), and releasing the button unleashes the counterattack. While charging this move, most attacks are rejected.

A Blitz Attack can be repelled by an opponent's Blitz Shield unless it is fully charged, at which point it also gains a greatly increased Attack Level. At partial charge, it causes horizontal blowback with [[Wall Stick]]; at max charge or on [[Counter Hit]] at partial charge, it crumples (on ground) or floats with Wall stick (on air). Partial charge version has 55% initial [[proration]], while the fully charged version does not prorate. It always steals a small amount of the opponent's [[Burst Gauge]] on hit regardless of charge.
