The combat bar
Riposte
After a perfect parry, your next technique is stronger and half price.
For 1.5 s after a perfect parry, the next technique uses its riposte form for half its Qi. The combat bar pulses gold and shows the word Riposte.
- Cloud Step Slash: a short dash that cuts twice.
- Thousand Drizzle: the final cut breaks the guard for 2 s.
- Within the first 0.25 s, Cloud Step Slash becomes Swallow Returns.
