Learn how blocking works in Monster Train, including shield icons and damage reduction.
The amount of damage dealt by a move in Monster Train is indicated by either a Sword or a Shield icon. The Shield icon specifically denotes a defensive move.
When you perform a defensive move, it blocks an incoming attack. This action deals damage equal to the attack's damage to the attacking limb. Additionally, your limb receives the damage instead of the regular target, but this damage is reduced by the number displayed on the shield icon.
Tips
- Pay attention to the Shield icon to identify defensive moves.
- The number on the Shield indicates how much damage your limb will take after reduction.
- Blocking deals damage back to the limb that attacked you.
