We all love a good offense, but sometimes, defense – or more specifically, a parry – can be your best choice in the heated battles. Whether you’re faced with a tough enemy or attacked from all sides by groups, learning how and when to parry in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is important. If you have struggled to get the hang of this move, or want to know more about it, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about this defense tactic.
The Basics of Parrying
Parrying isn’t just about looking cool (though let’s admit, it does add some style points); it’s about how you work to outthink your enemy, turning his attack right back around on him. Are you familiar with a dance where one leads but the other spins away easily? This is what successful parrying looks like in AC Mirage.
I’ve played my fair share of games having such elements and let me tell you, not all parries are created equal. The small parry windows in games like Elden Ring and other RPGs mean you need a lot of practice. I mean, blink-and-you-miss-it kind of tight. However, in AC Mirage, the developers are far more sympathetic. If you’re poor at parrying in other games, there’s a chance your instincts might carry forward here.
How to Parry in Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Parrying depends a lot on timing, reflexes, and a bit of old-fashioned practice. Here’s how you get it right:
Button Smashing:
- If you’re on a PlayStation, you need to press the L1 button.
- For Xbox users, it’s the LB button’s time to work.
- If you’re a PC gamer, tap the Q key.
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a yellow sign around your enemy is telling you, “Hey, I’m about to attack, but if you’re quick, you can parry me.” But here’s the trick: Don’t hit that parry key right away. Wait for a second, time it right, and do it at the right moment.
You know that saying about keeping your friends close and enemies closer? It’s kind of true here. The more you face off against foes in Mirage, the better you’ll understand their moves. Some might be slow, winding up for the perfect blow, while others might be fast and furious. So, watch, learn, and wait for the right moment to strike.
How to Deal with Unparryable Attacks in AC Mirage
When you spot the red glow on enemies, it’s not the time to show off your parry skills because these guys are the bad party crashers, bringing such moves you can’t parry. Nope, it’s your cue to play a quick game of “get the heck out of the way.” At this moment, hit that dodge button. It’s your safest way to avoid the damage completely and continue to fight the next round. Nothing beats that feeling when a powerful strike from an opponent barely misses you.
Once they’ve performed their attack, that’s your chance. Get back to work, respond with your counter attack, and win this battle. Play smart, not just hard when you are in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
