This skill is enough to block a full egg spit, but since you cannot distinguish between egg and husk spits, you might end up wasting it on a husk spit, leaving you without a skill for the next egg spit.
Therefore, you need a second egg blocker with whom you can coordinate, so that at least one of you has a blocking skill ready.
