reflection ability

[ELDEN LORD]

i cant seem to do it right, i parrry like normal correct? then press the attack button at the exact same time as the parry? my hit always seems to just go right through them. ive kinda given up on it at this point and may just respec

[Kashra Fall]

No, the reflection ability is connecting your weapon, to your opponent's weapon. Don't try it on fast enemies, only do it on slow ones.

Its like a Dark Souls shield parry, is the besy way to explain it. So you have ti time it really well and if you miss you will be punished. Its best used when an enemy does a slow wind up attack from my experience.

In the General skill tree you can also enhance it to come out faster, probably making it more usable.

and it only does stamina dmg unless u spec to do damage, idk its prob my least fave skill so far but its most likly user error. i think ive landed one out of 100 attempts. ill try it on a slower attack see how that holds up, thaanks

Yeah its definitely not the type of skill you will be landing a lot early on but once you get the sweet spot down, you can reflect many boss attacks with with ease.

So far for each boss there is at least 1 or 2 slow/delayed swings in the combos, and I usually block/perfect block the first few and then time my reflect to steal my turn back.

hmm that would be nice to steal a turn, ill give it another go. im on that viper dude now ;/

Yeah its very powerful if you can get the timing down but if you miss you will eat damage. Don't forget you can practice it in the training room and there is a skill that makes the player take less damage if they miss it.

Yeah its a guaranteed stun and like I said if you follow it up some a combo you can get some decent damage in.

The bigger benefit is against monstrous enemies (purple rather than white stamina bar) it absolute tears into their meter. I'm talking roughly 50% of a boss's meter. Still good against human enemies, but shreds monsters.

My biggest problem with the Reflection ability, or parry, is that there is a text at the bottom of its descriptions that says what attacks can not be parried, the main issue is it includes "and some normal attacks." This is a massive issue as you can not know if an attack is impossible to parry or you are just messing up the timing. I tried for so long on Viper to learn parry windows and for some attacks I just could not. Same happened for the deer boss--Volbaino or whatever was his name--which game me more trouble than Viper to be honest. I just could not parry some of his attack, I'm not talking not at all. We should be able to parry all normal attacks and any attack that can not be parried should have indicator.

If you want to use Reflection, you should absolutely take those points that reduce damage you take when using the move and the point that makes it go off faster. It is actually a massive damage reduction that makes it a lot less punishing when you miss it--and you will miss it a lot.

There is a training area in the game, right? I didnt try that yet but I would assume you can go there and practice the move to understand how it works.

to explain it in simple turn, brink parry is like sekiro , but reflect is like dark souls parry,

No, its not at all. The perfect "block" is like souls parry. Reflection is totally ♥♥♥♥ and never ever saw something so bad in any souls or souls like game. I can parry in any souls, elden ring etc. and even have perfect guards in khazan all the time, but reflect is just insane.

No its not. souls parry is almost like is same as in sekiro. reflection has no similarity to souls at all. its totally broken.
