Lore
The optimal block is one that is executed using the smallest necessary movement. This makes it fast, reliable, and opens up the possibility of immediately transitioning into a counterattack.
Effect
The 
Perfect Block is the best way to deflect your opponent's attack. It doesn't cost any stamina, and certain attacks can only be blocked with a Perfect Block.
The shield on your combat rosette will light up green when you're able to perform a Perfect Block.
If you attack right after performing a Perfect Block, you can perform a counter-attack - a riposte.
