Parrying / Perfect Blocking

Parrying is a timed block right as an attack is about to land. If your timing is inside the parry window while facing the attacker, you perfect block instead of taking a normal block.

• A parry is not a normal block: no damage, no block chip, no posture loss.
• Parrying stuns your attacker temporarily for 0.45 seconds, presenting the opportunity to counter and attack them.

Combat Style Perks that reward parrying:

• Counterstrike: +5% damage on your next attack after a parry. (Basic, Ali, Kyokushin Karate)
• Perfect Reflex: If M2 on cooldown, parrying reduces remaining cooldown by 1s. (Boxing)
