LEVEL UP YOUR PARRY GAME (Naraka Bladepoint)

note that parries are server sided so the more ping you have, the more parrying will be difficult for you. Lower ping can parry faster.

Don't believe me ? Watch this video until the end and come back to the intro. Only then you will be able to do the same. Let's dive into the world of one of the most satisfying gaming mechanic : The Parry. There are two different parry situation. The predict parry, where you make a guess based on your opponent behavior, habits and mind games. Most of the focus attacks in Naraka need to be parried on prediction. There are some ways to get better at these parries but it comes down to observation, pattern recognition, mind games and conditionement. I am not diving into these topics today, even tho they are super interesting. Instead, we are going to talk about the second parry situation : the reaction parry. This time it's not a guess, but a punish. In Naraka, very few focus attacks can be parried on reaction, especially due to ping interactions and parries being server sided. Still they exist, and pro players use them more and more. The reaction parry secret is hidden behind a locked door. And I'm gonna give you the key to open this door right now. But before that, I need to tell you one thing that will act as a hint. So listen carefully. When your character parries, the hitbox of the parry is actually slightly in front of your character hitbox. Do you see where I'm going ? The key to reaction parries is spacing. Spacing in a neutral game is the act of positioning your character out of the range of the opponent's move. A perfect spacing in Naraka is getting barely out of range of a focus attack so your character hitbox is safe but your parry hitbox is at range to hit. Making a perfect spacing makes you able to parry more safely but most importantly, it unlocks the possibility of reaction parry to some focus attacks. Each focus attack has its unique way of spacing. we are going to see them one by one from the easiest to space and react parry, to the hardest one. Level 1 These are the ones you probably already know. Spacing these parries usually revolves around a tap dodge back. At this level, we can only punish slow multi hits focus attacks. But don't miss on these ones ! If you don't know them yet, everyone can learn them and improve their parry game. Level 2 These focus attacks are also multi hits but are much faster. Parrying them on reaction requires a good hold dodge spacing and good reflexes. At this level we start noticing some weapons are better than others for spacing parry. Dagger, fan, longsword and nunchuks have the best parry hitbox. Level 3 At this level, the focus attacks are mostly single hit, requires a perfect spacing at the right time and above all, requires your brain to be focus and ready to react because these focus attacks will really test your reaction time. And even if you can theorically parry them on reaction as we see right now, most of the time you will need to parry them on prediction. Okay guys, I hope this video helped you and maybe gave you the motivation to train your parries. I didn't include every single focus attack that is parryable on reaction, but you get the idea behind my examples. If you have any question feel free to ask in the comment section, and as always, take care of you guys.
