What Is Parry In Lies of P?

Parrying is an important skill that helps to block enemy attacks in Lies of P.

So, parry timing on one boss may not work on another boss.

What Is Perfect Guard Skills?

Perfect Guard skills are the perfect parry timing skills to block an attack.

You must block just as the enemy attacks you to perform the perfect guard.

So, you can practice your guard skills with the Training Dummy.

Furthermore, you cannot perfect your guard skills without experimenting and jumping into battles.

So you might die many times before you perfect your skills.

However, the end result will definitely be fruitful.
