As a block, LV2 Assist Change interacts with other properties appropriately. Unblockable priority bypasses LV2 Assist Change, while Ranged priority gets blocked without staggering the opponent.

	The blocking period begins from the moment of the assist character's ~~appearence~~, all the way until they are almost done with the backflip motion. This is a relatively long window, and staggering the opponent later provides a bigger opening for a counterattack. Once the blocking period ends, the assist character is vulnerable to attacks. Hitting the assist during this time will lock the player's assist gauge.A barrage of projectiles such as {{012kuja}}'s Ultima or {{012ulti}}'s Knight's Blade can outlast the guard's duration and hit the assist with ease.
