To Parry

Action destructive · reactive

Redirecting or countering an attack at the right moment: riskier than blocking, but more rewarding.

Design question – Are there moments in your experience where perfect timing turns an attack against the attacker?

Reference example – Resident Evil: Players can parry an enemy’s attack with their own weapon to avoid taking damage.
