    Problems with guardbreak on dodge

    As a main Lawbringer, I experienced this issue several times: I'm not able to counter a guardbreak while I'm dodging. And it happens during side dodge as well as back dodge, which is a bit weird, since it should keep you out of range in order to exactly prevent a guardbreak.
    It seems that dodging grants the enemy a free guardbreak on you, and please don't say "git gud" or something like that: I know how to counter a guardbreak, so I had to success in countering it al least one time.
    I don't know whether it is an intended mechanic or not, nor it only affects slow character; for sure, I know it is quite annoying, expecially when you try to go away from your enemy and you got free guardbroken.

    It is a intended mechanic, gueardbreaks are guaranteed on some actions, like dodging, after a block(only specific chars), heavy attack superior block from conqu and so on....

    Thank you so much for the info, it seemed really weird indeed. I knew it was guaranteed after some actions, but I didn't know it also affected dodging.

    yeah, the enmy just magically slides to get the hit on you. I think Guardbreaks should always be counterable. they are much to strong to get even more advantages.
