Parry is an important mechanic in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden when it comes to combat and in most of the scenarios, your survival will be dependent on this as well. For this very reason, it is important that you know not just how to parry but also become good at it. Parrying will allow you to deflect incoming attacks and return the incoming attack with some damage. We have curated this Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Parry Guide which will help you master this tricky combat move easily.
How to Parry in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Parrying helps players find a chance to hit in a fight. At the start of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, players can block attacks by holding down the L1/LB button on their controllers. Blocking is okay, but parrying is better if you can do it right. To parry, you need to press the L1/LB button just before an attack hits. It’s a bit harder than blocking, but it’s more effective. You can get good at parrying quickly, especially if you start on easy mode. Enemies don’t hurt much on easy mode, so it’s a good time to practice. Here’s how to learn to parry fast:
- Start the game in easy mode and go to an area with enemies
- Wipe out all the enemies and just leave one behind
- Once it attacks, press L1/LB right before it is about to make contact
- Rinse and repeat until you get the hang of it
Remember, when you’re up against a big group of enemies, it’s not smart to try to block all their attacks, especially if they’ve got you surrounded. Instead, try dodging their hits and moving out of their reach. Then, take them down one at a time.
A key tip to getting the parry right is to learn the attack pattern, if you have played games like the Soulsborne series, you will know that it takes multiple attempts, to say the least, to learn the attack patterns and time yourself but once you learn something as important as Parrying, it will save you a lot of time throughout the game!
