What is guard up mhw?

Guard Up is a skill in Monster Hunter World that allows a player to block normally unblockable attacks with their shield. It is considered one of the most important defensive skills in the game, especially against heavy-hitting monsters that have attacks that can't be avoided in other ways.

Guard Up is generally found on armor pieces and decorations. It requires a player to have a certain level of the Guard skill as well, as the two work together to make the player's shield more effective at blocking attacks.

Having Guard Up also allows players to engage in a playstyle that revolves around blocking and counterattacking, as they can more confidently and effectively block incoming attacks. This can be useful for players who prefer to stay close to monsters and attack them head-on, rather than dodging and weaving around their attacks.

Overall, Guard Up is a useful skill for any player who prioritizes defense and wants to be able to block a wider range of attacks with their shield.
