Description

Parry (Alt: Parrying) is a 2nd class supportive skill available as Lord Knight. It adds a chance to block physical attacks entirely when activated. The player will be forced to pause momentarily whenever Parry blocks damage. For example, if the user is attacking a monster while Parry is activated and they guard an attack, they will stop attacking the monster for a brief period of time. If the user was standing still or running when Parry blocked an attack, they will still be penalized with a short moment of time until they can attack or use skills.

Notes

• Must be wielding a Two-Handed Sword.
• Has the same properties as Auto Guard for blocking damage, such as how an attack following Lex Aeterna will remove the Lex Aeterna if blocked.
• If Parry blocks an attack while its user casts an interruptible skill, the skill will be interrupted.
• If Parry blocks an attack while the user is running, they will appear to stop quickly while the Parry animation plays, causing awful position lag.
• Parry will not block Cart Termination, Soul Breaker, or Acid Demonstration.
• Parry works even if a player is under a status effect such as freeze or stone curse.
