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 is placed in a defensive position (and does nothing else), and the first incoming melee attack will be blocked harmlessly.
  • This stance can be toggled off to conserve stamina or do something else.
  • When an attack is blocked, the caster 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.
