Guard Parry

OVERVIEW

Perfectly timing your block now functions as a parry, but with less active frames. This is to compensate for the lack of recovery frames.

Adds 6 parry frames to the start of the guarding animation for:

• small shields

• straight swords, curved swords, katanas, thrusting swords, daggers, whips, axes, hammers

Adds 5 parry frames to the start of the guarding animation for:

• spears, halberds

Adds 4 parry frames to the start of the guarding animation for:

• standard shields

• greatswords, ultra greatswords, curved greatswords, great axes, great hammers

Additionally, the Guard Parry Plus version of the mod adds the following secondary effects to the window:

• chip damage negation (100% physical, 75% elemental)

• increased guard stability (all stamina damage nullified)

These effects were inspired by the Deflecting Hardtear from Elden Ring. They begin at the start of the guarding animation, the same as the parry frames, but extend just slightly longer (0. 25 seconds, or 7. 5 frames) and do not vary by weapon class.

For offline use only; otherwise, you will be soft-banned. Also available for Dark Souls III and Elden Ring.

Available standalone or merged with the following mods:

• Modern Roll (normal version)

• Better Rolling (w/ Bloodborne dash on light roll) + Better Backsteps + Gesture Cancel Remastered

• Modern Roll (normal version) + Better Rolling (w/ Bloodborne dash on light roll) + Better Backsteps + Gesture Cancel Remastered
