Block Ability

The UCombatAbility_Block ability is responsible for mitigating incoming damage, through blocking.

When activated, it will apply the UCombatEffect_Blocking Gameplay Effect, which indicates to the Defense Manager Component that the owning character is currently blocking, via the Combat.State.Blocking Gameplay Tag.

For an in-depth guide of the mitigation system, visit the Damage and Mitigation page.
