Instant Parry and Dodge Cancel

Instant Parry and Dodge

Makes combat much more responsive. You no longer have to wait for Geralt's attack animation to end before you can defend. Hold guard in the middle of a swing and the parry is active right away, Sekiro-style. Made and tested for The Witcher 3 Next-Gen 5. 0. 0c.

Features

• []Instant parry: guard works in the middle of a light or heavy attack. No more waiting for the swing to finish.[/]

  []Longer dodge i-frames: +0. 25 seconds of invulnerability after the dodge animation ends.[/]

  []Wider counter window: you can press guard up to ~0. 8 s before the enemy swing and still get the counter. Pressing guard more than once no longer cancels the counter.[/]

  []Parry everything: every enemy attack can be parried, including heavy attacks and giant monsters. Attacks that normally could not be blocked no longer just stagger you.[/]

  []No parry break-through: monsters can no longer break your parry after a number of blocks.[/]

  Good to know

  • []The parry is applied instantly, but the attack animation may keep playing for a moment. Geralt blocks even without the defense animation.[/]

    []If several enemies attack at the same time, you can parry all of them.[/]

    []Heavy attacks still cost more stamina to parry. If you run out of stamina, you will stagger.[/]

    []Enemies marked as "cannot be countered" can be parried, but the counter-attack will not trigger.[/]

    []Enemies far above your level can still sometimes break the parry (level difference check).[/]
