what's the advantage of parry or perfect dodging?

[Speaty]

the right timing feel so good... even though the window is long, yet!
I don't understand what's the benefit of doing so

Perfect dodges are practically useless for most of the content, apparently one enemy has broken AI and will stand still after a dodge, but it is useless against everything else.

Perfect deflect seem to use zero stamina against regular enemies and rapidly regen the stamina used against bosses. Deflects let you keep in the enemy's face to keep attacking. They also drain the enemy's stamina. Try too early and you still get a block, unlike dodging too early just getting you hit.

Aww sour grapes still misleading people.

Perfect Dodge gives you an opponent's back and lets you deal massive damage based on abilities that people with limited attention spans and who are bad at actually exploring gameplay mechanics don't like or something.

Perfect Dodging gives you positioning, Parry allows you to deal direct stamina damage and gather information for when you can dodge. You can spec into Brink Dodge and Brink Guard and abilities on the skill tree will increase your damage, improve your stamina recovery.

Spear has a skill where if you dodge, your follow up attack acts as a re-engage with complete invincibility and can interrupt even large enemies if you have Moonlight Stance active. You do this by using the Heavy Attack version. It really depends on what feels comfortable to you and how you spend your stat points. If you want to be bad at the game, definitely listen to the guy who got clowned in another thread.

Once you clear that area, you're going to enter an area where the Skill Tree unlocks. The game will open up from there, it's basically drip feeding you the experience in the tutorial area.

In the next area you unlock easy mode and skill trees that you can use as crutches. The Yeti area forces you to clear the fight with core skills, it perfectly illustrates why parries are the only option worth using.

If just as the people claiming perfect dodges are the better option to post a video of their Yeti boss fight, and that will tell you all that you need to know.

Nothing else to it really, once you get the skill tree the game will become a lot more fun/interesting. There's so many pop up tutorials, I'd say just look at the tool tip videos.

You're going to get three weapons, each one has unique handling. Charged Attack on Greatsword is freaking amazing.

I thought it's short demo... but it seems the more progress in game the more interested it become
nice
