Dragon Ball Legends How to Block

Unfortunately, blocking in Dragon Ball Legends is a random occurrence. Your character will auto-block at random, with the player having no control over when this happens or how often this happens. You can see in the tool tip screenshot above, the game only has auto-guard with no manual way to block.

Since you can’t block manually, you need to find other ways to avoid attacks. You can try to dodge attacks, swap out characters, or even counter long range attacks with a long range attack of your own. None of these options are a good replacement for blocking, but when blocking isn’t an option, a combination of these tactics can at least help out on the defensive end.

If a future patch changes anything in regards to how to block, we’ll be sure to update this article. In the meantime you can find more strategies and advice, such as what friendship really means, in our Dragon Ball Legends game hub!
