Parrying in Rivals of Aether 2 is a powerful defensive move that can stop an opponent's attack and create an opening for you to counterattack. Here’s how to parry effectively:
1. How to Parry
Press the Shield Button: To initiate a parry, press the shield button right before an opponent’s attack hits you.
Timing: Timing is everything! You need to press the shield button just as the attack is about to connect. Pressing too early or too late will either result in a regular shield or leave you vulnerable.
2. Parry Effects
Stun the Attacker: When you successfully parry, your opponent is briefly stunned, giving you an opportunity to counterattack.
No Shield Damage: Parrying prevents any shield damage, so it’s a safe way to stop strong attacks without depleting your shield.
3. Using Parry for Counters and Momentum Shifts
Countering Aggressive Opponents: Use parries to disrupt fast or aggressive players, as it forces them to pause while you gain the upper hand.
Set Up Combos: A parry can lead directly into a combo, especially if you follow up with a quick, powerful attack.
Defensive Reset: Parrying can reset the pace, giving you a moment to reposition or change tactics.
4. Parry Practice Tips
Practice Timing: Parry timing takes practice; try to get a feel for different characters' attack speeds.
Watch Opponents’ Patterns: Learning your opponent's attack rhythm will help you anticipate when to parry.
Combine with Dodging: Mix parries with dodges to keep your defense varied and unpredictable.
With consistent practice, you’ll find that parrying is one of the best tools in Rivals of Aether 2, giving you more opportunities to strike back and gain the upper hand.
