Master the Art of Parrying in Avowed: A Comprehensive Guide
Parrying enemy attacks is incredibly satisfying in action games, turning their offensive momentum into an opportunity for devastating counterattacks. This guide details how to parry in Avowed.
Unlocking the Parry Ability
To parry in Avowed, you must first unlock the ability. Navigate to the "Abilities" menu, then select the "Ranger" tab. The Parry ability is located in the top middle column. Unlocking requires allocating an Ability point to any of the three core skill trees. Once done, Parry becomes available.
Parry has three ranks:
| Rank | Player Level Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N/A (1 Point Spent) | Unlocks the Parry ability. |
| 2 | Player Level 5 | Increases Parry efficiency by 25%, enhancing Stun. |
| 3 | Player Level 8 | Increases Parry efficiency by 50%, enhancing Stun. |
At level 10, the "Arrow Deflection" ability unlocks, allowing you to parry projectiles.
Executing a Parry
Parrying requires precise timing: block immediately before an enemy attack connects. A metallic clang sound and a visual cue indicate a successful parry, stunning the enemy. Mastering the timing takes practice, but it's less demanding than in games like Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
Limitations of Parrying
Not all attacks are parryable. Attacks indicated by a red circle require dodging. Furthermore, only certain weapons can parry: single-handed and two-handed weapons (not in the off-hand), and shields (in the off-hand). Ranged weapons (guns, wands, bows) and grimoires cannot parry.
Benefits of Parrying
Parrying stuns attackers, creating openings for significant damage. It's a highly effective defensive and offensive technique for melee characters. However, it's less beneficial for ranged builds. Avowed's respec system allows easy removal of the Parry ability if needed.
Avowed is available now.
