Blind spot Backhand Blades full fight PvP (Top Tier Elden Ring PvP)

[@amangham7]

Ok how do you actually counter Blind Spot as someone on the recieving end? Is there a secret vulnerability I'm missing? Because not only does it get around shields, it seems to act as both a dodge and an attack - if someone's swinging at you, you can use blind spot to evade and punish in one move. Can it even be parried?

[@crusaderofsouls]

Only way I have seen is by anticipating the attack. People tend to roll away from attacks, but you should roll forward and immediately punish. There is small window of opportunity once the attack misses, for you to try to punish. Edit: and just today, they nerfed the vulnerability window

Is there a rule against using shields or something?

[@crusaderofsouls]

Not that I’ve heard. Why?

[@toomanylies7716]

@@crusaderofsouls Just curious as to why no one thought to bring out a shield against Backstab (I get it's backstab, but I read you can react block to it) even if it's not guaranteed.

@@toomanylies7716 I don’t see many shield users since dlc with exception to the new shields, and I haven’t had any issues in PvP against them.

Build ?

[@crusaderofsouls]

My build for this is not even ideal for the weapon. I was running bleed but this character is mostly dex/arcane. I was just excited to try them out. All my characters are 150 so I will eventually go with 80 dex with 11 faith for bloodflame. That will probably be the best build for them imo.
