A special guard that offers increased protection allowing you to fire a slinger burst more safely. You can also press a button to switch back to normal slinger mode.
(You cannot move during a Guard Shot.)
A special stance that you can take while in slinger burst mode. Though it consumes stamina while active, getting hit will allow you to grab, and potentially latch on to, the monster with your claw. If successful, you will gain Flinch Free for a short time.
