	-(17/20)

Lockout is a Skill in Dark Souls 3.

Weapons That Have Lockout

• Giant Door Shield

Notes & Information

• Light attack is a multi-hit charge that stuns the opponent and then greatly damages them on the final hit. The strong attack will increase the stability of the shield but doesn't change the shields absorption, instead it raises the players absorption to 100 in all damage types making them immune to all damage that isn't applied to player health directly like blood loss and poison.
• The charge leads into a true combo with a regular R1 if the player is close enough and times it right. 
• The strong attack may greatly reduce damage and increase the shield's stability, but the player cannot move until the let go of the button and stamina does not regenerate, leaving themselves wide open to a backstab.
• Causes thrust counter frames at the end of the bash.
