Start With Dodging to Nail Parry Timing
Visual Parrying: Watch the Enemy’s Moves
Visual parrying is all about reading enemy telegraphs. Most enemies give clear signs—like jumping up, swinging a weapon, or charging an attack. For example, the big guy with the hammer? Watch his weapon as he lands—parry right at the impact moment. It’s simple once you get the hang of it, but always dodge first to master the timing. Visual cues are your best friend against straightforward enemies!

Why Parrying Is a Must in Every Fight
Parrying isn’t just cool—it’s a lifesaver! A successful parry triggers a counterattack, dealing massive damage (especially with the right build and picks). On Expert Difficulty, where enemies can one-shot you, parrying can turn the tables. But mess up the timing, and you’ll get slapped hard—I learned that the hard way when a Lancer took me out! Prioritize flying enemies (shoot ‘em down), hit weak spots, and break shields to make parrying easier.
Learn From My Mistakes: A Battle Gone Wrong
Let me show you a fight where I totally botched my parry timing with Mile. I skipped turns to practice, but dodged too soon and got hit. Then I was too slow—bam, knocked out! But here’s the cool part: my team swooped in for a Last Stand and cleaned up. The lesson? Master parry timing with dodges first, or you’ll be toast. Watch for jump attacks (like the Lancer’s) and use audio cues to stay sharp!
