Auto Block

The Auto Block module predicts when you are going to take damage and blocks your sword to reduce it.

Note

Legit and Blatant value suggestions are included on this page. They will work well for the average use case, but they are not strictly the best settings for every given scenario.

Range

Controls the range where the module begins blocking. This can be set to a value greater than the reach distance to block the first hit as well.

Tip

Legit

You probably do not want to go above 3.5 blocks (or you may immediately get combo'd). If you want to block the first hit, we recommend testing some values around 3.0 - 3.5 blocks to see what works best for you (if your ping is higher, you will need a higher range value). If you don't care about blocking the first hit, you can use a value of 3.0 or lower.

Blatant

Consistently blocking first hits often requires a range of 4.0 blocks or higher. If you have high ping, you will need to use a higher range as well.

Maximum hurt time

This setting specifies how early the module begins blocking. For example, a value of 200 ms would make it block 200 ms before you can take damage again. Since the damage detection is affected by latency/ping, this value will likely be slightly different for each user.

Tip

Legit

Use [your ping]+100 ms, eg. for 110 ms ping you would use 210 ms.

Blatant

Use [your ping]+150 ms, eg. for 110 ms ping you would use 260 ms.

Maximum hold duration

Controls how long your sword will stay blocked.

Tip

Legit

Mostly personal preference, higher values increase the odds of you blocking a hit but also slow you down more. You should generally keep this value a bit lower than your value for Maximum hurt time (as a rule of thumb, keep it at least 50 ms lower).

Blatant

Any value works as long as you use 100% lag chance and have Block again immediately on, however setting this to 50 ms will allow you to move the fastest.

Force block animation

Note

This is a cosmetic feature, other players will still see you unblock your sword.

If enabled, your sword will appear blocked the entire time. You can optionally choose to only display this animation when a target is within range.

Lag

Auto Block can be configured to lag (blink) when your sword unblocks, so you stay blocked for a longer period of time from the server's perspective.

Chance

The chance of lagging after unblocking, which keeps your sword blocked from the server's perspective.

Tip

Legit

Use 0% to disable lag.

Blatant

Use 100% to ensure all hits are blocked.

Maximum duration

Tip

Legit

If you set your lag chance to 0%, this value does not matter.

Blatant

Any value works, with higher values allowing you to move faster but also lag more. 150 - 200 ms is usually a good balance.

Prevent delaying attacks

When enabled, the module will avoid delaying attacks. This ensures your hits are never delayed, however it will stop lagging immediately to do so. You should generally turn this on.

Immediately block again

This makes the module block your sword again directly after stopping the lag. Assuming your lag chance is 100%, this means that your sword is blocked all the time, either by being blocked client side or by tricking the server into keeping your sword blocked using lag.

Tip

Legit

Turn this setting off when your lag chance is not (close to) 100%.

Blatant

Turn this setting on to ensure you are always blocking.

Conditionals

Auto Block can be configured to only activate if:

• Left mouse button is pressed
• Right mouse button is pressed
• You recently took damage

Tip

Enabling the Damaged condition will prevent Auto Block from blocking when chasing players. If you don't need to block every hit (for example, because you are playing a mode like NoDebuff where the amount of blocked hits is capped), it is usually a good idea to turn it on.
