#Add a blocking skill to Lann Swords

It's been long overdue and with how much Spears got buffed and are still getting, I don't see why any new player or even old (aside from moveset preferences) wouldn't choose Spears over Swords.

If you get hit during this block, you get the same knockdown effect where you're able to decide if you want to use Gliding Fury or not and it can be chained with dashes. Ideally, this sounds strong, but with a block you're still not getting the wind rider buff that you'd get with dodge which in turn generates a high stamina consumption, so ideally this is best used as a last resource or during slashing high.

In addition, I think it'd be really nice and stable if Swords could resume combos right before blade tornado after a Fury attack

What new buff are Spears getting? I must have missed that.

Just more damage

Idk about blocking skill, but at least a deflect skill. That'd be useful for both Twin Swords and Twin Lances.

Twin Spears has a risky perma dodge. It can cope.
Swords can just observe

block idea is neat and tbh wouldn't be opposed if it were implemented but i do like the idea of lann bein "the attacker" and fiona bein "the defender" (that still attacks lol)

can't attack much while there's an aura hitbox lingering for 2 whole seconds. That's why I want a block that's supposed to be a suboptimal choice, but a choice nonetheless

would the block nullify the hitbox even if it lingers for 2 seconds? the deflect could do the same thing, and for balance it could require precise timing for the reward of being able to continue attacking / dps'ing
