How to Dodge and Parry in Stellar Blade

These are two very important mechanics that will help us resolve the different confrontations that we find in the game, seeking to minimize the greatest possible incoming damage, which is why we must know How to Dodge and Parry in Stellar Blade, in this guide we will have the instructions To achieve this efficiently, let's see.

Dodge is the first way to avoid damage and Eva can dodge almost any enemy attack by pressing Circle. Some enemy attacks cannot be stopped, so dodging them is a flexible solution to almost any attack that comes our way. Although any missed dodge will be successful, a perfect dodge will cause Eva to explode with red energy, briefly stunning enemies and leaving them open to counterattack when Triangle is pressed, to execute it Eve must jump out of the way at the last moment, which makes the dodge much more dangerous than a normal dodge. For regular attacks, there are no icons or indicators indicating when to dodge, so we must wait until the attack hits the target to dodge. Unlocking the Reflex Boost skill for 2 SP in the Survival Skill Tree makes the perfect dodge window more forgiving. While the Double Dodge skill in the Survival Tree doesn't grant Perfect Dodges, we do give Eve the ability to continuously dodge in case Perfect Dodges fail and we need to escape from a bad position.

Pairing and blocking are two sides of the same coin, both are implemented using L1. Holding L1 will cause Eve to block incoming attacks, and pressing L1 just before Eve's attacks will block the attack. Parrying normally generates beta energy, and a perfect parry will briefly stun the enemy and generate much more beta energy, indicated by a flash of yellow light. The opportunity to parry an attack instead of blocking it can be difficult, but parrying perfectly will require a last-second reaction, the Focus Increase skill can be unlocked for 2 SP in the Survival skill tree to make it easier for us to achieve the perfect blocking time. Carrying out a perfect counterattack is much riskier, since players will find themselves within range of our enemies if we make a mistake. Any enemy's basic attack can be blocked, at best, unless a blue or yellow flash appears before the attack, indicating a much stronger attack. Mastering the perfect parry is key to charging our beta energy and regularly using Eva's most powerful abilities in combat.
