Buster Cannon (status) should also make it so the unit cannot use Guard. 

It's a little vicious to see removing people's defenses, for them to just tank you anyway with the use of a shield, which reduces damage by a significant percentage.

We have plenty of things that ignore dodge in the game, but very few that makes Guard not work. I feel like this could be one of them.

Full agree. Dont see any reason against it that makes sense.

I disagree, don't see why this would make sense.

Arbalest needs multiple buffs, not a random buff to a specific situation like this

Nah, Kunai has the right idea, Arbalest does need a guard break somewhere in it's kit to restore it's previous tank busting identity, Arbalest unironically doesn't need much buffs, in my experience playing it, it really only needs 2 things to set it in line with the rest of the good classes, one of them being mentioned in this thread.

1) A Guard Break, I don't think it should remove the ability to guard given that Cripple Arm functionally serves that purpose for shield-based guards.

2) Arbalest also needs better durability overall, to cement it's immobile turret-y nature, it wants to operate a lot like Priest and try to wall out their opponent just enough to scrape the win, their damage is already phenomenal but mighty wall won't cut it when you get rushed down and hit with an axe in the face.

Guard break is the counterpart to evade ignore tbf, and most of the ones that do exist are spammable. If buster cannon doesn't have that already, I totally agree it should tho.

I can agree that guard break on arbalest would be great to have. Only issue is focusing all the power of Arb on buster cannon, it's already the best skill. I think it could stand to gain that power, but the other cannon skills should get a significant buff in turn

What? No, Blowback Cannon is leagues better than Buster atm, given the lower scaling on it, and the lack of a knockdown/knockback.

Buster lacks a lot compared to really both of either cannon skills tbh, nobody really minded this given buster was the entire identity before. Blowback Cannon is already like, one of the best skills in the game just objectively speaking, which is why I don't think Arbalest needs more in the damage department, just in the defensive and/or utility one.

Ditto, on what Autumn said.
