Hold Right click with a weapon to guard. The guard blocks attacks from the front, including arrows and water balls.

Perfect parry

• Raise the guard at most 0.5 s before the hit.
• The hit is cancelled completely, grey sparks fly, and a melee attacker loses balance for 0.6 s.
• One perfect parry per raise of the guard. It even works on guard-piercing skills, but not on explosions or finishers.
• It gives 6 Qi and opens a riposte.

Normal parry

A guard raised earlier lets 50 % of the damage through, with no flinch and a small pushback.

Every attack in the mod can be parried: the Azure techniques, the bandits' cuts, the Chief's axe and the Crab Man's water balls.
