How To - Parry/Light Parry [For Honor] 

I definitely need everyone's help because I returned to for Honor after a hiatus from the game. Because my brain is still in Year One

I didn’t even know light parrying was a thing until a Valkyrie did it to me XD

Such a helpful, well described video! It helped me a lot for my Warlord mastering, to whom the parries are essential for his effectiveness, thanks!

This is a really well edited and put together video. I’m already decent at parrying, but I’m sure this will definitely help other people

Such a good video! Helped me learn to parry almost everything.

Much appreciated my guy I always love watching your videos, always the best keep it up!

Thank you so much for showing the settings. I knew I needed to change that.

Just got the game… these settings instantly made this more fun🤙🏾🤙🏾appreciate you

Thanks man this should help, I play cent and every time I parry a couple of someone's heavy attacks and give them a knee to the face they just start with the light spam, Great detailed video new sub keep up the good work.

Thanks man, I have played for honor for a few months now and have been struggling with the parrying this helped a lot

Just started for honor and maining nobushki,warden,and black prior. This helped me in dominion, thank you.

I used to be able to parry them all the time but ever since the update where the first 100 ms of the animation was hidden to benefit of players to make it a more offensive game ive not been able to get a single one unless I predict it🤦‍♂️ I hate it so much

If your on PC, try to maximize your FPS as much as possible, it may seem obvious to some but it goes a long way in helping if you have a slower reaction time like me

Oh also if u click the little apostrophe thingy for quick settings you can go to opponent settings and turn the move cooldown off so if you miss a light party he immediately attacks again instead of you sitting there waiting for a light

Just started mailing lawbringer and I was decent at parrying I could parry most heavies sent my way but lights always made me hate the game been practicing like this every day for half an hour and I can handle lightspam a lot easier I’ve even parried lightspam pretty easily from orochi so TYSM it really worked for me :)

I got Warmonger in the recent sale. After taking her into brawls I ended up having consistent frustration against a lightspamming Nobushi. This video'll definitely help me get Warmonger to punish harder and to just parry better.

Dude that settings help so much!! Great vid

Thank you! Your sensitivity settings made my game a whole new! Finally I can parry, and defend myself.

maining pk and soon shinobi, this is an amazing vid thanks mate

Hello! :) It’s really work! I confirm this! I trained about the same! Thx for video! :)

Updated setting and now I'm a parry machine. Good to know I've been playing with a handicap for years.

Thanks Mr. Axe this gonna help in our 1v1s 😉😉

Oh lord I had a dream about going back to For Honour. Then this video pops up on my recommended. Welp. Time to brush up my Conqueror once more.

I'm gonna try it tonight Thanks for the help.

i'm gonna try this out now

This is going to help a lot

Thanks man 💯

Great video!🙌🙌

Great video...don't like you manhandled my Orochi charater (lol) though. I also loved how you summarized everything you went over at the end of the video. Great brief overall!

Thank u bro

U are the man

it workde thanks

Great stuff dude!! I have keep my forward guard thinner because of my fat thumbs lol

I've sat here for an hour doing what he said and my reaction time isn't fast enough to even consistently block lights coming from different directions. Like I love this game to death, but it's infuriating how I get matched against players who parry every neutral, combo, an or otherwise light and I just can't fucking do it for the life of me. Idk why, I'm so much twitchier in other games but in this one I get shit on and taunt spammed by r1 warriors. I've broken several controllers and headsets over this game but the good games where it all depends on the mixup and mind game are so fun that I can't stop. Idk what to do, but I'm losing my mind here

Great video! What about the mouse smoothing? Should I set it lower or higher? My mouse is cheap (low DPI, I’d guess)…

now i know your deep hidden strategies, prepare to fail.

Thank you, nice voice

An important thing to note is that if your opponent is parrying your lights, it's because you're not throwing enough raw heavies. Don't feint every heavy because they'll just feint upon seeing it's not a light so if you just let it rip there's a good chance you'll hit them.

I parry lights ‘!!!! My cousin plays warden as well

How do you display the move set combos while in battle on xbox? I have to go to the menu to find it.

As a console player who light Parry's daily on Xbox original gen. Let me tell you right away that if you see red and your trying to parry it for the light your too late. You have to slap your stick and the heavy button before just as the animation goes off. For those trying to see what side the animations coming from without the hud you are and aren't wasting your time. Worst to worst you eat a light or you let it hit your block casually to feel their moves out. Say I'm JJ and your you. If you eat a left side light , the moment you hear flesh and steel you should already be hitting your right stick to the direction while hitting rt (heavy) simulataneously (especially if your reflex)/ guard) that you think the (possible) second light in the opponents chain will come before my animation starts, (not counting delays) just as you get hit from thee initial attack try to Remember that if you see red your already pressing your attempt to late. Has to be almost just between the moment you just got hit and before his animation goes off for the second u gotta be there first. Your Rs+RT (heavy parry) (Xbox) has to be imprompted almost slightly before or just as your opponent's finger presses RB (Light) (in real time) imagine what that would look like in your head. Lastly Remember button imprompt. Good luck - fighting bots in training is fine and dandy but in order to practice light parrying people who soft feint opener back to a light on the opposite side into combo, bots won't help you improve much to this. It's gotta be worked into your muscle.memory. if you can hear steel when you block odds are the next time you go to block there you can parry it too. Trust your senses keep your right stick from touching the plastic edges as best you can and if you have stick drift stop beleiving you can play at 1 deadzone. That's it. If anyone wanna run some games sometime lmk your gt. Hope this helps someone.

I consistently can do sometimes but when games gets messy i just fk up

Dude love this vid it actually helps but I have a 60hz screen, do you think I'm able to parry lights well or I need to update to a 144hz?

Definitely well put together but one question i have is do you have to hit rb (xbox) for a light parry? For heavies you parry with a heavy to the same side but do i have to hit rb or rt for light partying

Why thank you Mr. Axe this will help for our 1v1s 😉

How do you do the parry where you do an unblockable straight after it

do i just parry on red or on the white flash bc if i do it on the whiote flash my reaction time is bad

it is physically impossible for me to block lights. the light attacks come out in 500ms, my reaction time is around 250ms, so it takes me half the time to realize something has happened then the other half of the time is spent processing which direction he's attacking from, leaving me no time to actually block

Am i dumb ? I cant even react to light with normal blocks sometimes. Parry or deflects on Lights only happens if i predict it or pure luck

Does this apply to every hero? No matter the blocker or the attacker?

i can't see the block symbol that shows where enemies are hitting, plz help

❤

Ok, i get how to parry, but how do you "throw" your enemy right after you paried his strikes, i mean how do you push your enemy (idk how to express myself) ?? Like this 2:14 you pushed your enemy to the right side after parry

how do I do the block with out using the unblockable

what's your monitor's refresh rate?

Great tutorial! 👍 The only thing it's missing is mentioning that you have to use a heavy input to parry for the monkey brains out there.

My lawbringer uses defensive feats. And my buddy's orochi uses offensive... He light spams... With like a couple heavys thrown in. He uses the kunai, and a bow... And it's annoying because he spams the kunai and bow. My feats are healing in passive, juggernaut, and a health boost. But its cool down is so long...

I think you misunderstood the flight control settings. High sens on kbm = lower deadzone on controller

What dpi do you use

Isnt low sensitivity making switching slow?

Guys any way I can get better like after this video my brain still can’t comprehend the speed of the lights 😩

Are there any chances parrying on ps4 without predict?

I still do t understand how to pushy them back because I don’t know if it is a button or something

Finally decide to get into for honour I'm prepared to both love and hate it

does it work with 60hz too?

I could do heavy easy I did light rarely but I can do it now thank you

How many dpi need ?

Good video but im on console so its alot harder to react with such low frames but helpful nevertheless

Wait isnt it the higher the sens the easier it is to change directions?

No matter what, my brain hesitates to Parry like i see it, i predicted it but my brain says no

I'm so confused, when I put guard mode sensitivity on 20 (max) it becomes really easy and fast to switch stances, but to "put it as low as one can tolerate" it becomes really slow to the point where I'm moving my mouse but it's not even switching stances, could it be that he meant the opposite? or am I just dumb ._. probably the latter...

Can some one tell me what the point is in Parry, i played it a long time, but i stoped at some piont back when they nerfed it extreme because you had no more free Grab after a Parry. so what is the point now?

Basically just always expect a light.

This is great, but it doesn't address the issue of bots vs real players. I can very quickly build the muscle memory for parrying orochi lights, but an overreliance on this muscle memory can mess you up in a real match when feints and bashes come out. I'm still looking for ways to learn the more difficult moves while still accounting for mix ups, bashes and feints. unfortunately you can't seem to tell a bot to feint attacks unless you use a preset ai

Just don't light spam and you can avoid getting light parried :D

But which button u use for parry u didnt mention that

What button should i press for light parry?

Soon as you said I use mouse most of use said ya bye ..

Parry light with heavy attack or light attack?

İ dont get it it doesnt work like what do i have to do to parry? İ only can block is there another button or something?

What do you think should i switch to pc?

Aye man still waiting on that 1v1 lol

What dpi are u using with 1 sens?

can u do a video on peacekeeper

Hey um is there a way to parry a spamming wardens?

Why is it so hard to even block the lights.

I just don't understand how it's possible to Parry lights they are so fast so I don't understand how y'all can do it

Im just so done. Light Doges, no Problem Zone, no Problem Lights: F CANCER Lights are just too fast for me. I cant even block them sometimes So with that said, HOW am i supposed to FUGGIN PARRY THEM?? I mean, if i stay on one guard Position, i can. But when the light comes from a different Side, and i need to Switch, im just not fast enough Im Rep 35 now, and i just cant do it, doesn't matter how long i spend in Training And sry for my bad English Its not my Language

HOW DO U EVEN ACTIVATE A PARRY ON PC

Great video, music ruins it.

Why 3 and not zero?

"Light Spammer" hehe

still dont know how

Teach new players how to even parry in the first place < Only explain to people who know how

honestly i think you need to have a certain character to light parry

The bots not the same

Jesus Christ is king 🙏❤️

you will never parry lights on consoles under any circumstances, you will never be able to react to lights, stop wasting your time "training" parries because it won't help, several people who played and knew how to parry lights on PC and played on console already reported that it is extremely difficult even to defend light this game has never been, is not and most likely never will be a game where skill will be required let alone rewarding, you can train 30 minutes a day to get good at a little online game and an idiot with a broken character can come and beat you just spamming lights (and of course you won't be able to parry) It's obvious that there are people who have thrown away any and all remnants of humanity and just live inside For Honor as if it were a religion, these people we call pro players, and it's obvious that they're going to parry lights and play really well, and it's That's when I ask you: Is For Honor a game made for casual people or pro players? Is it just a game for good people with quick reflexes? so why do you keep playing?

I'm sorry, but who the fuck is this game exactly made for? It used to be so fun, I played since season 1 and about after season 3 it started going downhill. It's fucking impossible to just block the fucking orochi. Nevermind parry. I can BLOCK only around 20% accuracy. What the actual fuck? Moveset I did was: 1 Light 1 Zone 1 Forward kick And this isn't even adding in storm rush which can come from all angles. Bot only does it from one side sadly. I play vs ppl who can parry on reaction. Not only that they can distinguish if I throw out a heavy or not, so it's not like you can abuse their will to parry against them.
