I'm pretty sure the heavy after the shield stun is guaranteed. It comes out super quick like a slashing movement. If they are out of range of the stun, he will do the traditional guard-break lunge (and probably miss). The light attack I meant was the superior block one. I use that on the speedier classes when they do a lot of dodging and light attack spam. The timing seems easier for me, than trying to parry the super quick stuff. I'm old and don't have the reflexes of you youngsters. ;]

Ok I got some info. Heavy after a shield stun is guaranteed only on assassins because of reflex blocking. On other characters it's guaranteed only if they're not blocking in the direction of your attack already. But, unlike in the gif I posted, it does do a lot of stamina damage, so it is actually very useful. A light form it is guaranteed as well, no matter what.

I don't think anyone can be out of range of the stun, that should hit everyone. The normal guard break lunge doesn't happen when they're out of range, it happens when you press guard break a little later. It misses on Nobushi, Kensei, Lawbringer and Shugoki as far as I know, but don't quote me on that.

Good tip on the light parry miss, much better to miss a light attack than heavy attack.

The timing should be exactly the same as normal parry. So if you can get those light parries, just pressing heave instead of light should net you a normal parry.

Well you are right. But the Problem is the other Classes, like:

Orochi: GB-Hit, GB-Hit, GB-Hit its all the time and that really fast. Moving Back, dashing-hit.

Kensai: GB-Heavi unblockable Hit from Above... Allways doing the same.

Shugoki: Lol ! only uses his unblockable Hits (Orang Flame) Pick you up and break you ----- Done...

The Main Problem is in my Eyes, the other Classes can abuse they attacks to easy.

Shield counter drains an extra stamina of your opponent adding on from the parry. So if you can exhaust them you can GB them onto the floor.
