How to parry?

[LionEddy]

Hi guys,

I know I need to have a shield to parry, but what button do I need to use on a controller to execute it?

Do I need to push the button in the last moment before I am about to get hit?

Thanks

Yes.

It does not matter if you hold or tap button, it has to happen shortly before attack.

If you tap button, you can see sheld swing animation, that's your parry frames.
If you hold button, parry animation is hidden behind block animation, but parry is still happening. Once pary frames are over you'll be in block mode untill button is released.

Most shields only block around 75% of the incoming dmg. Does it apply to parry as well? Or do I negate with parry all the dmg?
