![]() ![]() If you parry too near, odds are, you will take damage anyway, because the hit box touches the damage hitbox even when your parry connects. Actual hit boxes are longer than the actual weapon, and you have to keep that in mind. As for the reach of their weapon, it has to do with the weapon hit boxes. It's at the end of your own attacks that you want to practice the timing of your parry. In short, they will want to attack you when your own attack ends. If they are running around you & kiting you while your attacks whiff the air, they will likely attack as soon as your attack ends, setting them up for the parry. In that case, it can be a bit iffy, but you can adjust your timing a bit and catch them for a parry. They get wise to this, they might wait a bit to do a normal attack instead of doing a roll attack after the roll. Roll attacks are easy pickings for this, because they are knee-jerk reactions that are easy to spot. Their timing becomes predictable because you set the rhythm by setting them up to expect an opening. If you attack as a defensive move, you can bait people into a position where they want to attack you, i.e. You've heard the phrase, "the best defense is a good offense." Since most people don't use shields all too well in DS3 PVP any more, people use weapon attacks as a deterrent. Two good things to keep in mind when parrying offense as defense, & weapon reach. It's all about getting a feel for what your opponent is going to do next. From there you can graduate to parrying normal attacks & running attacks. Since rolls have big ass tells and people tend to be more careless at full HP, it's good place to start practicing the parry. I find the easiest thing to parry is the roll attack-well, apart from the Charge WA. It is possible to parry an attack that hits you from behind, but the timing and positioning required to do so is far more precise.These can also be achieved if an attack that cannot be parried - such as a projectile - hits your shield during either this window or the active parry frames. This is often referred to as a Partial Parry. If you are hit by an attack during this window, you will suffer damage and stamina loss as if you had blocked the attack normally, but you will not be staggered. When parrying with a shield, there is a small window of time before and after the active parry frames, during which you will still be partially protected from attacks that hit your shield.Fist weapons have a small number of instability frames after their parry frame window ends, causing you to take extra damage from attacks if you parry too early.Katanas have the smallest window of active parry frames out of any parrying tool.Bare-handed parries can only be used when the player has no weapons equipped in either hand. The weapons with shortest wind up before parry frames are active are fist weapons and your bare hands.The Parrying Dagger is the only dagger that allows you to parry while in either hand.Curved Greatsword R2 attacks cannot be parried.The Pickaxe can still be parried, even when two-handed.Two-handed rolling and running R1 attacks from these weapons can still be parried. ![]() When two-handed, R1 and R2 attacks from Ultra Greatswords, Greataxes, and Great Hammers cannot be parried.Jumping/Plunging attacks performed by players cannot be parried under any circumstances.Lorian, Elder Prince (You can't Riposte).Dragonslayer Armour (You can't riposte).Farron Greatsword (only while two-handed or using a shield with Weapon Skill).Rotten Ghru Curved Sword (left hand only).Painting Guardian's Curved Sword (left hand only).Pontiff Knight Curved Sword (left hand only).Darkdrift has shield splitter and Frayed Blade can not parry while holding) Golden Wing Crest Shield (can also Spell Parry).Sacred Bloom Shield (can also Spell Parry).The exact timing varies depending on the parrying tool being used and the opponent's weapon, but in general, you want to initiate a Parry just before the opponent's attack would hit you. Parry is a Skill in Dark Souls 3 that allows you to deflect most melee attacks if timed properly, leaving your opponent in a vulnerable state and allowing you to follow up with a Riposte for incredible damage. Repel an attack at the right time to follow up with a critical hit. ![]()
