Guard Mitigation

Guard Mitigation is a type of mitigation which increases the amount of damage mitigated when guarding.

Without any buffs or passives, a unit that is guarding has 50% damage reduction. This effect stacks on to that base 50% mitigation.

Rules with Mitigation Stacking
Guard Mitigation uses the same mitigation stacking rules listed below.
 * All types of passive mitigation stack additively with each other, but passive mitigation caps at 50%.
 * Conditional mitigation counts as passive mitigation.
 * Using Sacred Purpose Lukroar and Pious Emperor Alza Masta as Squad Leaders while fulfilling Alza Masta’s conditions for 20% damage reduction will result in 50% passive mitigation; however, using Celestial Shield on a unit will not increase its passive mitigation due to achieving the 50% passive mitigation cap.
 * All types of buffed mitigation stack multiplicatively with each other. There is no cap to buffed mitigation.
 * Using Umbra Halcyon Magress’s 50% damage reduction buff with Infinity Starsage Zeruiah’s 10% elemental mitigation will result in 55% buffed mitigation.
 * Passive mitigation and buffed mitigation are additive with each other.
 * BB/SBB is considered one category and thus, mitigation buffs coming from BB and SBB will not stack with each other.
 * This can stack with UBB mitigation, however.
