How to parry in En Garde

To best use your parry in En Garde! you need to focus on the colors of the attacks. You can parry against attacks that have a Blue color around it, if you time the moment that the circle explodes and Parry (with the Y on PlayStation or Triangle on PlayStation), you should be able to do it efficiently.

After this, there’s the dodge. You need to use it when an enemy is going to do a Red attack (look at the focus circle), and do it at the right time. Failing to do so, will mean that you will get hit, so better be ready with the right timing.

But that’s not all, since sometimes you need to roll to get out of harm’s way as well. To do so, you can use it if an enemy is kicking stuff towards you or you can’t dodge at the right moment. Dodge can be swiftly done with the Circle button or the B one.
