BEST HOW TO PERFECT Block, Parry And Dodge DEFENSIVE GUIDE | STELLAR BLADE Tips And Tricks

[@Reggan471]

It's really fucking hard to dodge, it's like dodge never works

[@DreadOfKnightFX]

I love Stellar Blade but this hand is harder than Dark Souls rofl 🤣

[@daveeagle2721]

This may help some, but what I found helps me to perfect parry better is to always keep my finger on the block button. Then, when going for a perfect parry, I let go of the button, then come back to pressing it down once for the parry. What this did for me was it prevented me from trying to use the parry button too quickly. It removed in my mind the fear of getting hit, since perfect parrying ultimately leaves you feeling vulnerable. Since my finger is already on the block button i'm protected with minimal damage, if I don't react fast enough with perfect parry. Hope that makes sense. You can do it with a string of enemy attacks and it works.

[@Sxypenguin]

Man I really want to enjoy this game and people seem to just have an easy time with it. I know it's me and not the game as everyone is talking about how good the combat is. I just cannot connect with the timing of the blocks, parrys and dodges. You make it seem so easy and I just get my face melted. 😭

[@Elbethium]

It is because you are focusing too much on feeling left behind and going in already defeated. Just relax and dont be nervous, it is only a game and retry as many times as you want, you have no one to impress 😄👍 it will click

[@jimmaurer8361]

I was in the same boat. I did the boss challenge 30 times before I beat it. My problem was rushing in mashing buttons. Best way I learned, was keep your distance and prolong the fight as long as possible. Got my timing down for dodge/block, hit some, back away. Now I'm beating it 9 times out of 10 and hardly taking damage. You'll get it! Believe me, if I can anyone can lol

[@jcruz2255]

You can unlock skills in her skill tree to make parries and dodges a bit easier. It's all about timing and practice so don't get frustrated and know that the people that have an easy time has spent hours and hours making it look easy -- they just don't show all the times spent practicing.

[@InnerSunshine]

By design the idea is to fill your special attack gauge first, even on the easiest enemies. Try this!

[@Froggboii69]

I also find parrying hard. The window time is very tight similar to lies of p

[@duannehaughton4893]

It is good that you have a training mode to practice. The skills seem more complex than just button mashing. I like that!

[@Elbethium]

Very true!

[@bxown3d]

I was button mashing at first. It blows. So I read some of the skill combos in the skill tree, coupled with using betas and my combat went to A-tier

I appreciate that SO MUCH, thank you

[@QuantumTelephone]

I thought this was gonna be a coomer game, but it is so much more. Respectable piece of art

[@Zohard104]

This video is pretty good however, you missed some details my friend Regarding the blue and pink attacks, there is a visual queue of when you need to trigger your dodge skill After you see, the first signal of the attack, which is the coloring around the enemy, a moment later, your sword will flash with the same color of the attack and that is your queue, to activate your dodge skill Aside from that, it wouldn’t hurt to have the inputs listed for whatever skill that is the focus at the moment But other than these two things, the video was great, and I look forward to more of your content

[@Elbethium]

Thank you for the comment 👍 I didnt include the button prompts because the game forces you to buy those skills, even takes you into training mode for them. I do hope you enjoy what is coming 😄👍

[@Zohard104]

@@Elbethium the game, only forces you to buy the blink skill. It never makes you buy repost. And I could be mistaken, but I don’t think the game explains to you the detail about your sword flashing either I look forward to more content from you.

[@brycehildebrand7782]

I don’t see any flash around the sword

[@Spartan-ts5dy]

What buttons do you push ???

[@InnerSunshine]

Thanks for this! Notes I took: By deisgn the idea is to fill your special atk gauge first, even on the easiest enemies. Yelo enemy glow attacks - weakest, dodge, press circle Blue enemy glow attacks - Grab atk coming. Can be countered. Color flases. Then you have to wait, not press parry-block too soon. Wait about 1 to 1.5 seconds. Purple enemy glow attacks - Can be countered RED enemy glow attacks - Un-blockable

Dodge yellow, blink dodge blue, launch-kick dodge purple. Its a fairly simple system but Im still getting used to reacting with the right input. But you can panick spam L1+Square if you've upgraded it to interrupt attacks

[@darkzentai7417]

I do find myself at times doing a sword clash but I’ve never worked out what triggers it. But I have figured out you need to be clear on the commands on the controller if you have a bad habit like I did, and you try to block and dodge at the same time neither will come out . And it’s easier to dodge than to perfect Parry.

[@Elbethium]

Tried it, dodging has a very VERY small window. Much smaller than parries

[@darkzentai7417]

@@Elbethium maybe because when you do a perfect dodge, your immunity frames are massive not only that but depending where you dodge to you can make a lot of enemies attacks whiff plus, it refills your shield bar but on a parry you only deflect the one attack. Also, there’s an item in the game called the reflex type expspine which makes it even easier to perform a perfect dodge or Parry generates shield faster.

[@Uppernorwood976]

Is there a way to deal with blue grab attacks without the skill dodge? Are they blockable, or is just a case of execute the skill or eat loads of damage? Most other

[@RagnarokMic]

You can perfect dodge them too, I’m not sure if it’s all of them, but there were times I was going for the proper move and ended up doing a perfect dodge instead and still avoided damage. Normal dodge will get you caught though, must be perfect.

[@ZekeStompin]

Honestly this games design for characters, enemies, and environments is so good. The combat and gameplay is amazing too. If only the story wasn’t a rip off Nier Replicant and made something original, this game would be a 10/10

[@bxown3d]

Pc gaming for the last 15 years, thid game briught me back to console. I bought a PS5 for this game. The inputs on the ps5 controller do not have as snappy of a response feeling as a gaming keyboard. It feels a bit odd and it actually makes the timing of abilities more challenging.

[@coolfox-24]

I keep trying to dodge/parry etc it mostly doesnt trigger somehow and ends up being attacked anyway by the attacks of regular monsters already. So a boss would definitly be hard for me already. I for sure am doing something wrong i guess. But i just dont know what. I usually do 1 to 2 attacks then try to parry the attack and do a heavy attack then fall back with 1 dodge. Sometimes if i dont parry i try to do a perfect evasion. 😓 im affraid ill be struggling the entire game when it releases

[@Elbethium]

I completely ignore heavy attacks here because they leave you open for damage. And dont underestimate yourself, you got this

[@GrafValnar]

for my tast its bad, it feels like they broke counter and dodging a bit by give them too many visual movements, feels a bit cheesy. :(

[@lhz-black-devil]

for the blue attack its left stick up and circlet at the same time and for the purple one its left stick down and circlet at the same time if u have these unlocked

[@yourashero]

You didn’t really explain when to attack. The blue gives you a good tutorial but for the life of me I can’t dodge or run away from them. The counter is easy but if I try to run away and double dodge as soon as they turn blue I get hit every time. Also the first bosses lightning attack. How do you dodge it? He runs away and spams me with it and I can’t do anything to not lose 3/4 of my hp. Fun game but I hate “go figure it out online” tutorials.

[@kuronokei7821]

Hi, did you mean when the blue attack appears, wait it turn to purple to sneak behind the enemy? Im always find myself failed to do that.

[@m3nace1313]

Blue and purple are separate attacks if it's blue u wait for your sword to glow blue and then you move joystick up and press dodge she will blink past the enemy Purple you wait till your sword flashes purple then move your joystick down and press dodge she will do a back flip away from the enemy

[@russellmania5349]

How do I refill Eve's shield? My shield is always empty and never refills.

[@Elbethium]

Dont get hit

[@brayancedeno2253]

I don’t understand how to react to some of the moves does purple and blue mean dodge or Perry or can I do both?

[@m3nace1313]

Purple: joystick down away from enemy + dodge button blue : joystick up towards the enemy and dodge button ; u wait till your sword glows the specific color if your confused press start and go to moves list it has all the moves there

[@waffleking9317]

Was interested in this game. I'm just so tired of these games that force you to parry. Played all the souls games and never bothered parrying, I got through those games just fine. Wish parrying was more of a option in this game. If dodging was actually useful, I would buy this game.

[@legionxxiii3570]

I know exactly what you mean! I’m still going to buy this but it gets so annoying and the pay off is really nill. Idk if I have crappy timing but it’s almost impossible for me to land them and when I do I feel it’s a fluke. It gets jarring at times and puts me off of the game.

[@KillerTofuDrums]

​@@legionxxiii3570one nice thing about the game is that the combat simulator is set-up as a practical sim where you can have an enemy repeat specific attacks to practice the timing. I was always parrying too late. Because I was timing the hit and blocking the moment it would connect instead of halfway through the swing, but it is different game to game, like in Jedi: Survivor its moment of impact; Stellar Blade its moment before

[@RagnarokMic]

Parrying is optional in this one, just helps get them stunned for a super move, you can win entirely off of blocking dodging. This isn’t like Sekiro.

[@DistinctionDino]

@@RagnarokMicnot completely. There are some fights where parrying is mandatory basically
