Notes[]
- One second after activating, Parry negates the first melee attack to land and launches a counterattack against the attacker.
- While parrying no abilities can be used. However, movement is allowed.
- The counterattack strikes all enemies in a 180 degree arc, centered on the right side of the rogue, pushing enemies away if humanoid.
- An active Parry has no facing restrictions, i.e., a rogue can Parry an attack made on their back.
- A successful parry, even without Effortless Riposte, restores 35 stamina yielding a 25 stamina net gain. (35 stamina gain - 10 stamina cost = 25 stamina gained)
- Parry has no cooldown, so setting a tactic to enable Parry on an AI controlled character is highly effective.
