    It is done by Zoneattack>E>S>Space, it seems unparryable because of how fast it hits you to the right and unpredictable since the animation is the PK seeming to give you a top attack but it goes directly right with an indicator that lasts about 0.3s? how is this a game mechanic is beyond me honestly.

    sorry for posting twice, the webbrowser literally froze on me and the page endlessly kept loading?
    Like someone said above, a good PK can be tough to deal with. If they are abusing the zone, just block to your right. If a pk sees you blocking your right they're not just going to come in and waste half their stamina. Also, understand that it takes a big chunk of stamina and can be punished if you counter it correctly. When I run into a player who is anticipating my zones and not just giving me free hits, it's really fun. Then it becomes about strategy and feints etc to win the fight. Understand that good players are going to find ways to use their hero's kit in new ways all the time. It comes down to gaining a better understanding and being ready for what your opponent might do. That is part of what makes this games combat so dang fun!

    Best of luck!

    Not quite, this is not balanced at all, you have 9 frames for the zone attack where as a raider takes 8 frames to swap guards, this gives you 1 frame to react not to mention ever parry it? are you honestly finding this legitimate?
