: In a 1vX (you vs. many), block one enemy's attack to get a riposte, then immediately aim that attack at a different enemy who isn't expecting it.

: Start one attack and switch to another (e.g., slash to overhead) during the wind-up to bait a block or a mistimed counter.

: Match the opponent's strike type (slash, overhead, or stab) while blocking just before they hit you. Successful counters replenish stamina and negate knockback, making them essential for long fights.

: Block an attack and immediately strike back. This is faster than a normal attack and provides a brief window of "active parry" that automatically blocks incoming strikes.
