Quick Question: Is it possible to parry frontal unblockables? | Forums

[FledgeSRondo]

I know you can dodge them, but I was wondering if it's possible to parry unblockables that come from the front. For example, the Wardens Shoulder Bash, or the Conqueror's Shield Bash. And if it is possible to parry, what stance would you need to take, I would guess upper stance? Thanks!

Oh and one more quick question: is it possible to counterstrike any unblockables either (for example, using Warden's Crushing Coutnerstrike)? Thanks!

It's not about coming from the front, the shield bash and shoulder bash cannot be parried because they aren't using a weapon. If you hit them while they are charging it you can stop it. Dodge the Conqueror's shield bash. The warden's bash is far more complicated though. He can feint it with a guardbreak, feint it entirely, or light attack you. It's very hard to react in time to what he does but you can unlock and double back roll to avoid it entirely.

Ohhh I see, that actually makes a lot of sense, those are great tips too, thanks!
