The next installment of my Expert's Guide series. I cover parrying and riposting from the most basic level to the frame counts of both parry window and recovery times. New players will likely learn a lot, while veteran players probably won't learn anything new until the final section. To my knowledge the actual frame counts have not been done before. Perhaps when the PC version is released and the data-miners do their work I'll find out just how accurate I was in my findings.
This one took me a bit longer to make as I had to do quite a bit of work to test the parry window and recovery timing for the majority of weapons and shields. Hopefully it was worth the effort and a lot of questions will be answered.
*Here is the list of armor used in the video.
Head: Thief's Hood
Torso: Painted Guardian Robe
Legs: Black Tights (Velka's set)
Gloves: Gold hemmed
Note that this armor has zero poise so it's mostly just used for looks. It does have pretty good resistances when upgraded though.
