 Parry | Assume a defensive stance to parry frontal attacks (negating damage), recovering Energy with each successful parry. This stance lasts up to 5s or until you parry 5 attacks, whichever comes first. Shortly after a successful parry, press Primary Attack or Secondary Attack to perform different branch attacks: Primary Attack is a sweeping strike against enemies in front, while Secondary Attack is a long-distance dash slash. Both branch attacks apply Wither on hit. Parry has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode. | Solo 15 sTrio 12 s | 0 Energy15 Energy | - | Strongest hitPhysical × 0.779791 | Strongest hit54.11921Impact 3Guard break | Energy restored: +30Wither duration: 10 sSuper Armor level: +1 |
