Help: Palm Guard Type Active technique Unlock Monk level 38. Usage palmguard Description A one-hit defensive reaction. The Monk raises an open hand and waits for one committed physical line to turn aside. How It Works Palm Guard gives a short dodge window. The next eligible non-spell, non-gun attack is heavily reduced, consumes the guard and starts a reuse marker. Counter Current and the Turning Hand rune improve it. With Flowing Hands, a successful guard also creates an offensive opening on the attacker. See Also: flowing-hands, counter-current, iron-palm, monk
