Block?

[Shawn]

I'm used to games like this providing a block mechanic. Maybe it shows up later in the game, but when I look through the skill trees I don't see anything standing out to me that it exists.

I'm sort of undecided about how much I miss the ability to block, or even rather the game would be improved by it? I guess I'm fine with it as the design is built around dodging.

Do you feel like it is missing?

You will unlock a skill that is more like a deflect/parry in chapter 2 but actual blocking ? No.

There also is resolute couterflow which essentially also is a iframed counter but takes a lot of skill to use reliably.

Thanks for the update.

Well, that skill based counter sounds interesting... maybe I can see someone use it effectively on youtube XD

It's called Rock Solid if you want to look it up.

ONGBAL is just as usual absolutely insane with it. But be careful. He ofc shows only the real hard bosses who are probably all a spoiler for ya.

ya, I'll steer clear of spoilers til I finish the game. I just know in advance that I'll suck with it!
