Perfect Block vs Counter vs Perfect Dodge

[Tenz]

Which Wilds mechanic you gonna learn to beat the game?

You don't need either one, it's just something to keep the flow of combat going better.

just spam attack until the thing stop moving

P-Dodge only really matters for Bow and Dual Blades, since they get something out of it, and those are more slight bonuses than anything meaningful.

P-Block matters a lot for the team if you have a weapon that can Power Clash; you'll lock the monster down in an animation for a very long time so everyone else can do stuff, and then you get your own free attack at the end of it.

Counters are kind of underwhelming compared to just... not being in the monster's attack zone in the first place and using a more powerful attack of your own.

Not gonna lie, Greatsword's new counter attack looks so sick, plus the slicing move. Never liked GS personally due to being slow but these new additions makes me want to play. I will try it on beta today.

Those moves are show off moves, dont need them at all to beat a monster. Its something speedrunners practice, the average joe is gonna use a perfect anything 4-5 times during a fight, and thats fine.

Not true, P Dodge vital for keeping your combo going and for optimal DPS with your mid way dodge atttack, for harder fights its absolutley vital to peform for the kits flow, or your damage and survivability are going to fall off a cliff.

There's skills that revolve around them so it might actually be used by speedrunnings. +25 attack doenst to me seem like a small amount to skimp on :p

Me? I personally enjoy doing it because its neat.
