How to Parry
Attack When A Yellow Ring Appears Around The Enemy
When a yellow ring appears around an enemy, it signals an attack that can be parried. By attacking at this precise moment, you can parry the enemy's attack and launch a counterattack.
You can Also Parry with Airborne and Jump Attacks
You can parry using not only basic attacks and skills but also flying and jumping moves. While aiming specifically for a parry isn't necessary, it can be useful to attempt it if you're about to be hit during a mid-air combo.
A Successful Parry Significantly Reduces the Vibration Strength
When you successfully parry attacks, you can significantly reduce the enemy's Vibration Strength, so try to parry whenever possible.
The Enemy is Stunned when the Vibration Strength is Depleted
When the Vibration Strength is fully depleted, the enemy will be immobilized, allowing you to attack freely. Additionally, you can also reduce the Vibration Strength by landing attacks.
Parry Tips
Use a Character that can Equip a Sword
The sword has a fast initial attack speed, making it easier to synchronize with enemy attacks. When aiming to reduce the Vibration Strength by Parrying, it's recommended to use a character equipped with a sword.
Rectifiers and Guns have a High Difficulty Parrying Attacks
The Rectifier, and similar weapons like Guns, is built for long-range attacks, which makes it tough to time and block enemy attacks when you try to parry them.
Parry with Intro Skill Instead when Characters are Using Guns or Rectifier
When swapping characters, you can trigger Intro Skills and Outro Skills, which can also be used to Parry. You can try to Parry incoming attacks using the Intro Skill if you're using a character equipped with a Rectifier or Gun.
Wait for the Enemy's Attack and Avoid Hasty Attacks
Parry requires matching your attack with the opponent's attack, so it is more difficult than evading quickly. However, the advantage is significant, so instead of attacking recklessly, it's better to wait for the opponent's attack and counter accordingly.
