What is Superior Block Light Attacks?

[Kataren]

Can someone explain that to me please?

If you're talking about the warden. Essentially what that refers to is that your overhead light attacks are superior in the sense that they strike faster than regular light attacks (so super quick).

What you want to do is try to block (from any direction) and then move your mouse to the overhead position and then do a counter attack. And in generaly you want to try to open up your combos with a quick overhead. If times right you can even interrupt regular light attacks with the warden overhead light attack similar to how regular light attacks interrupr heavy attacks.

And what about Valkyrie? it say that "Light attacks have superior block property during the startup. Use it to counter attacks" so that mean i can use light attack to block?

it means that your light attack, during the beginning of the swing, you automatically block any attack from the top direction

RhyoliTe, Imho, you are ABSOLUTELY wrong.

As far as my expirience goes - it has block properties at the start of animation.

usage: Your opponent starts overhead attack. When red arrow flashes ( parry indication) You starting overhead Light Attack. Enemy attack get's blocked because of your "crushing counterstrike" ability, your Light Attack passes and is actually unblockable.

P..s. I might be wrong about timing. You better practice it with bots first or even better - make a trining session with a friend.
