I just finished parrying Romina at RL1 (lots of fun; glad I practiced with a high vigor character)

What enemies do you enjoy parrying?

I always hunt down all 16 Crucible Knights to parry them to death. A parry-fight with them is so much fun.

Depending on my build I also parry Margit, Bell Bearing Hunter and sometimes Rellana. In those fights parrying is an option, but especially Margit and Elemer have such huge opening that it’s not always useful.

I never parry Morgott, Melania and Messmer. 3 Parries? Frantic moves and so many unparryable moves! No, thank you. Morgott and Melania also have low posture so it’s not really worth it.

Consort Radahn: I’ve got enough problems without thinking about parrying in that fights.

For non ER games?

I enjoy parrying in Bloodborne (Viscerals are so nice). Maria and Orphan (Phase 1) are quite fun to parry.

In Dark Souls, I rarely parry. Mostly I just bonk things on the head with the biggest stick or stab them in the back with a dagger.

    Commanders Niall and O’Neil are fun to parry. I beat Malenia with a parry build on my first playthrough, it was extremely hard but very satisfying. Radagon is also up there.

      I always used brute force with the commanders. I have to try parrying on my next playthrough.

      For Radagon “Dodge, light attack, dodge” is such nice rhythm that I never gave parrying a serious try.

      Malenia on your first playthrough with parrying ? Wow, that’s pretty impressive.
