[@fazadhikarizqkoswara9429]

Is it the same with waves? 😅 I somehow parry with a gun and still doesn't understand how that happens cause I was pressing wildly when dodging 😂

[@warewareno]

@@fazadhikarizqkoswara9429right? Pistol parrying is so unpredictable. I enjoy when it happens tho 😅

[@Ki_Vladilena_Milize]

Yup. The ultimate trick is to lock in and everything will be fine. Thanks for the advice

[@pinkiemelon]

No problem!!!!

[@r.d.6290]

My Danjin constantly misses targets with her Intro Skill even when locked-on, is that a bug?

[@pinkiemelon]

I dont say for sure since i dont have her yet, but there is sort of a timer between pressing the intro skill to when it actually does damage due to animation the issue could you that you are hitting the intro skill right when the parry window is opened but due to the start up delay by design, you miss the window barly so it wouldnt parry. i have the same problem with my yangyang, so i just time it the parry window with my intro skill taking in account of the delay. also you have to face the boss to parry it, so you cant parry when the dmg is dealt from behind the boss or too much from the sides. hope that helps!

[@cynthiahembree3957]

@@r.d.6290 This happens with a lot of characters. The targeting system needs polish though

[@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi]

Honestly, yes. When I tell myself to focus, and look at the boss more than I look at the character and effects, I actually focus more. Otherwise I'm just vibing and pressing buttons.

skills issue

[@YueOP]

same

[@blackhatsuharu7871]

@yaaaan6763 cant relate to 30 fps but using thumb to do dodge and attack using phone is easy since im used to play pgr using phone which need to tap a lot more button(need to attack, dodge and using orb using my thumb only) than wuwa. so my point still stand about skills issue and just get good. but if it is your problem then is more of a device issue that i cant really blame.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

This is why I dash every time I try to counter

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

I feel like I'll be avoiding most of that content until it comes out on console. But I've seen NO ONE making a video like this, so it is very appreciated. 🙏🏾

[@pinkiemelon]

Haha thank you🤣

[@rambutan7768]

This reminds me of KrushSG during the early Genshin days. Bro has nice low voice while putting out great guides.

[@pinkiemelon]

over all, especially during holograms. once you understand how the boss attacks and how fast the parry circles move, you get a rough feel of when you should be attacking. So you really only stare at the circles when you are just trying to figure out how the boss works.

[@hiimcortana1568]

The parry for those flying bosses plugne attacks are insanely crazy. I just dodge or save an intro skill just to parry them.

[@Monkey_D_Luffy56]

I love Genshin's fighting mechanics since it was easy to understand and all but it was frustrating at times since the enemy can freaking push you around and when they are already dead the animation or remnants is acting like a wall for a brief moment then when I tried WUWA's fighting mechanics it was freaking great since you can actually counter the enemy without any special characters abilities just pure skills is enough Genshin - Build some damage and you don't need skill to defeat an enemy WUWA - You just need a skill and it will be enough I don't really wanna compare the 2 games but I can't help myself 😆

[@loveaquinde8280]

I get you 😭 wuwa fighting mechanics is so much fun than genshin

[@blushingralseiuwu2222]

Not really, you still need damage to beat the timer. ❤

[@Kyle81290]

WW you need skill and damage, most of the hard content has a timer.

[@jarurn_7326]

the damage you do when you dodge counter some high lvl monster is also very high. like the time I tried to fight a lvl 120 bear, I can only dish out like 20-50 dmg with normal attack... but 7-8k with dodge counter.

[@Madelasha]

The problem is not genshin’s combat system. Elemental reactions are actually a great to play and theorycraft. The problem is that there isn’t challenging enough content to put those tc skills to use, since most of the enemies just flop dead with a single yelan E skill. I’m enjoying wuwa and i enjoy genshin too but i wish it had harder content to put my builds to use since it took me so long to get them to be that good

[@Yukiloop]

Parrying is cool and all but I'm watching this on loop because Sanhua looks so nice.

Thank you for the tips! I keep dodging when I’m supposed to parry and trying to parry when I should dodge 😅 I’m going to try just standing still and learning how to do this properly instead of panicking and button mashing. Subscribing for the future boss guides you mentioned in another comment. I really like your teaching style!

[@i2Capricorn4U]

Ahhhh someone actually made a video on how the game mechanics WORK.. thank you!!! Although I'm 2 months late... It's so hard to find a video now that actually TEACHES you the game mechanics/timing/buttons, that isn't just a "top 10 do's & don'ts", they don't help at all... I'll try giving staying still a go & get used to the boss' attack patterns. Subscribing to see more 🙏 Thank you!

The parrying sound effect is the reason why WuWa won their audiovisual presentation reward in the MGA. Lesgo. 🔥

[@khrisna-k1x]

Nice qol stuff with the poise meter and animation cancel actually XD I also love it that certain character can only parry stuff when it make sense. Still waiting for the beta invite but no news for me till this time.

[@Zuracchii]

I love this game,timing window is so similar to monster hunter. I used to be a big sweat in that game. Any type of attack, skill, ult, intro outro, and echo also parry as well

[@ShiroYuu_00]

"kind like Osu!" yup😂 nice video

[@pinkiemelon]

Thank you!!

[@HaydenLycoris]

It do be set in a world where sound and frequencies can give people superpowers after all.

[@Bittexu]

Good video! Afaik the only ranged characters that cant parry are pistol users. But even then iirc Mortefi's ult had a parry window (the cast animation). It's a lot weirder than parrying with a sword character.

[@Lore_no2020]

Yooo

[@Gilt2122]

Ngl im here taking lessons about parrying because bosses keep slapping me

[@reksk1547]

Going to fight bosses with genshin mindset, was an elden ring experience for me lol

[@highbrednxtus]

Honestly using Specials, Echoes, Dodging, and Grappling are just as useful in these situations. Echoes with long attack chains are good for parrying and staying invincible, coupled with character switching, and intro / outro skills you can put out a bunch of "stagger" on top of damage while staying safe but close. Theres a certain rhythm between characters (some play faster/slower), but once you learn your characters and the average switch time, it flows and will look like some DMC5 gameplay. Cool video 🤙

[@nicsnix8410]

Hahaha.. sadly not usualy a skill issue but a phone issue xD

[@I401]

thanks for this, it made me realise how important it is to have fast characters at doing parrying, although, now I know how to parry most the time as any character given i didnt know the requirements to do that

[@mikailikal]

5:55 yes I also noticed this when using Mortefi. I was having a hard time parrying the boss attacks but not when I use Verina or Rover.

[@rsg_magfire]

Because I have to play on the lowest graphic I can't see the second circle so idk what the timing of parry. I just spam normal attack when I see the circle. 80% of the time it's a fail. Dodging is also not the best option because my FPS is below 30 and the delay of my input is like .5 seconds later

[@BasicallyWelt]

As a veteran PGR player, this is nothing new 😂 Its the same parrying mechanic from their other game, really good stuff!

[@pinkiemelon]

Thanks!!

[@TooSoon123]

Its been a long time since Ive played pgr, and the last time Ive played there are no parry mechanics Is it something newly added in pgr? 🤔

[@liam8370]

that osu reference tho obligated osu meme "it's all osu?"

[@darkdill]

My biggest problem with trying to parry is I'm so often out of range because the boss back-dashes before they attack, making it impossible to hit them before it's too late.

[@xmakuvex]

When you are animation locked to parry propertly, I just change character, you do an animation cancel with the current character, and the entering character starts with N1, making it a parry, it works even with intro bar, that way you dont lose damage because you can E and change again to keep the chain or combo you were doing with the initial character.

[@dkuute]

Id why im able to counter with rover but the moment i put anyone else i cant parry 😭 feels like they have slower frame one

[@IzakiAkanami]

Fr man, the way Rover moves just made parrying so much easier compared to most melee characters in the game lmao

[@govetastream9003]

Really Great Explaination, easy to understand and fun to learn ^^

[@pinkiemelon]

Enjoy the game!!

[@lonjasprime]

Thank so much for this, felt much more detailed than other guides. The lvl 80 holo of this guy makes clones tho 😢

[@fatahilahs3606]

It still CBT and here we already have a nice tutorial, i really have high hope for wuwa One thing, and this might be help if you wanna get a gist of how the combat works for ppl who doesn't get the CBT. Try playing PGR, the combat mechanics are quite similar since it comes from the same developer. Maybe PGR is actually a bit harder than wuwa, idk. I don't get the CBT GLHF

[@unloyal4847]

Saw a vid about attack linger as a way to really fuck these type of bosses up, basically you sort of half second attack and let the boss come to you instead and they get parried by residual attack.

[@lionlife7724]

I can't parry or doge because my laptop lags sp hard in Fights. I have like 10 fps😢

[@Raven3557]

"You can't parry with bullets" Bloodborne hunters would like to disagree

[@bobbiepavlova9581]

me nodding understandigly knowing i panic dodge 9 out of 10 times

[@krouronii8867]

6:06 so that's why i'm not having successful parries with mortefi even though i already got the timing of some bosses. I thought the timing for ranged characters are just really tight than comparing to melee.

[@NielsGx]

If the character attack animation is slower, do you have to press a bit before ? So the hit actually line up with the 2 circle crossing ?

[@denodagor]

Yes. Basically you have to hit the boss anytime between when the circle closes and before it hits you with that attack. So longer slashes (when you're not already touching the boss and he is the one charging at you) or attacks with multiple hits work wonders. See for example Sanhua's blade spin basic attack or Jiyan's Skill.

[@gr4mas144]

Parry works only when enemies had weakness circle? I mean trash mobs cannot be "parried " ?

[@zvicinou]

Ugh, parry goes to fast for me. Your vid is awesome amazingly to explain this. But im an old fart. Im 2 slow 😅

[@pinkiemelon]

Practice is key!!! You got this!!!

[@sysfreakz999]

Parrying at 300ms means I have to predict the future 💀

[@Teen519]

Great video man The game is now 2ttimes easier thanks to you.

[@pinkiemelon]

Glad I could be of help! Enjoy the game!

[@JKron-sc9ok]

If you want to play safe on PC, you can dodge immediately after a parry attempt, the parry still succeeds if the timing is right.

[@manasdharpure5789]

As an ultrakill player, I thought it would be pretty similar parrying in this game. HOLY HELL WAS I WRONG

[@racerkingbbs04]

Also high ping will bother you... Like A LOOOT Even at 120 ms and fluctuations between 60-120 will mess up your timings, so it takes time to learn, I was somehow fine because I am used to parrying games (Thanks to countless hours on Elden, Sekiro, Tsushima etc...) But please take you time guys, also the game rn is just not optimised for performance, I have a laptop with rtx 3060 gpu and the game gives the same stuttery lackluster performance on highest as well as lowest presets, so I stick to high but yeah, the game needs to optimise their performance

[@mechatr0nix]

Ping doesn't factor into this. The client-side actions enable a lot of good switching tricks. That's fortunate for me, since I'm sitting between 250 and 400ms ping

[@racerkingbbs04]

@@mechatr0nix Wait really ? I have seen my own friends struggle as well since the circle getting ready for the parry window and the input delay through the servers not being the same timings, I guess input lag also causes it ? like low end hardware ? Also the game so far is not really optimised, like it gives me 40-50 fps at highest settings and the same at the lowest settings... Also I do have a more than capable GPU for the game (RTX 3060 mobile)

[@mechatr0nix]

There are also ways to parry with Baizhi. You need her summon at her side and she needs to be in close range. I think her jump attack is also a parry method

[@shaghayegh819]

Ah so you're telling me, instead of spamming attacks I need to break shield like this. Noted!

[@pinkiemelon]

You can also be very over leveled and over built to just dps your way through it but it won’t work for higher level bosses

[@Toastiel]

i tested it and it is possible to parry with verina's normal attack bUT u have to press a bit earlier before the outer and inner circle collapse, it's kinda tricky, but i couldn't parry with encore for the life of me even tho i saw ppl do it so effortlessly

[@cloudybrains]

As someone who plays a lot of OSU, keep in mind if your ping is high you absolutely have to click before the outer circle meets the inner circle. If you click when the circles meet you will miss the parry.

[@kirachandesuu]

for ranged characters (pistol/floating claw things) some of their charged attacks (hold aa)/heavy attacks can parry

[@slasherzone]

Gonna be sweating on mobile

[@xdturktr]

Finnaly a game which i can actually use osu! skills not as passive nor just for improving reflexes

[@sylar1733]

It's hard to parry on mobile🗿

[@mimikyufan291]

As a Mortefi main (yes, on field main DPS Mortefi) I assumed I was just lagging for my first few days until someone finally told me that guns can't parry. Now that I've been playing more Danjin and Jiyan, I've been getting better, but usually when I fight overworld bosses I just stay out of range and chip away at them with Mortefi, ignoring all of their attacks and breaking their toughness with his Skill, Echo Skill, or Verina's intro skill. For fights with a time limit this will help me a lot.

[@ryuga6027]

Finally I understand the parry, I've taken so long for this hologram, thks

[@PaPiT0o]

the simplest method is when you attack with the first character and you see the window where you can counter, you just change the character and do this 1 attack 😅

[@jonathangimenez3061]

Hey.. great video, I have one question, what do you mean with: "when you autoing"? I don't get it. What is supposed to be to autoing? From what I know, there's not an "automatic attack" or something like that. I'd really appreciate it if you could clarify that for me 😉

[@pinkiemelon]

[@choking1668]

U can actually parry with characters like Verina using their normals. I’ve done it before (by pure monkey), but u have to react even quicker since ur hit aint gonna register as quick as a fist. But like, only try this if yk the boss’s moveset.

[@ShimizuIzumi]

Ranged weapon characters can parry! I did it with Verina and Chixia in CBT 2

[@pinkiemelon]

There are exceptions, for example if you hold down aa for Verina or QTE she charges at the target so you can parry with that, but most of the time you cannot get a parry

[@ShimizuIzumi]

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

I don't find this to be true for Danjin at least. I find it equally easy to parry with any hit in her 6 hit sequence, aside from the last hit with basically gives you a parry shield

[@palen3388]

The cooldown u mentioned is called recovery frames, I know this cuz I'm a fighting game nerd lmao

[@boyscodon909]

its not when the circle alive its after that abit thats why multi hit ba or skill is very good for parrying

[@aeon5566]

Attempted to do this with this boss, but it's just impossible for me. Tried my lvl 60 vs the lvl75 in the Depths of Illusive Realm and he's just all over the place, only a narrow window to hit the parry and he hits super hard. If I cannot overpower him with just a stat check then I can't defeat him.

[@rakabayufr2153]

[@dhananjayahlawat6028]

Bro, thanks for the video! How does the outro skill work? Like how do I know its effect is on and such, since it has very good buffs n such
