About the walking backwards after parries
Pretty much in the title.
If you parry externally while parrying a target you're lock on to, it's almost impossible to punish the locked target. Had it happen a couple of times tonight, my character just walks backwards and the attack misses, making the parry useless. idk what the parameters that cause it exactly, but it seems to be you move towards the most recent target who entered your parry frames, which can cause you to walk backwards while attacking.
This is probably a known thing, I'm just out of the loop. I only bring it up because it's a bit frustrating to have the wrong action occur when you input correctly. ):
