'''Brace''' is a powerful defensive technique{{Perk|Darknut}}

To use this technique, the user takes a deep breath and focuses all of his strength into a shield he wields, a parrying weapon, or his bare hands. He must firmly believe that he is immobile, indestructible, and that he can ward any attack. For the duration of this technique, he can do just that. Generally, the user must predict an attack coming to be able to properly brace against it, but once he does, his shield, weapon, or hands are completely impervious to the attack for roughly half a second. Virtually any force will be unable to budge the user's brace for the duration of that time period. The rest of the user's body, however, is as vulnerable as normal.

Once a user braces a single attack, he cannot brace another attack from that same source for at least another minute. He can, however, brace different sources. If the user is being attacked by two monsters, for example, he can brace against the attack of one, then at any time brace against the other; he cannot brace against either of them for another minute, however.

==Trivia==
* [[Shield Breaker]] is one of the few capabilities which can explicitly break through a properly executed brace.
* This treasure's capability to provide momentary, nearly invincible protection is similar to [[Barrier]], or [[Split]].

-To use this technique, the user takes a deep breath and focuses all of his strength into a shield he wields, a parrying weapon, or his bare hands.  He must firmly believe that he is immobile, indestructible, and that he can ward any attack.  For the duration of this technique, he can do just that.  Generally, the user must predict an attack coming to be able to properly brace against it, but once he does, his shield, weapon, or hands are completely impervious to the attack for as long as he remains motionless.  Virtually any force will be unable to budge the user's brace for the duration of that time period.  The rest of the user's body, however, is as vulnerable as normal.

-Once a user braces a single attack, he cannot brace another attack from that same source for at least 10 seconds.  He can, however, brace different sources.  If the user is being attacked by two monsters, for example, he can brace against the attack of one, then at any time brace against the other.
+Once a user braces a single attack, he cannot brace against that same source for a few seconds.  Thus, Brace is useless against a flurry of attacks, but can effectively negate slow attacks or ranged attacks.  The user can, however, brace different sources without restriction.  If the user is being attacked by two monsters, for example, he can brace against the attack of one, then at any time brace against the other.
