Overview
Parrying is a defensive stance that gives the Lord Knight a chance to completely block incoming weapon-based physical attacks, provided a two-handed weapon is equipped. It offers no protection against magic, but greatly improves survivability against physical attackers.
Mechanics
Block chance:
Block chance = (20 + 6 × SkillLv) %
While active, each weapon-based physical attack against the Lord Knight has this chance to be blocked entirely. A two-handed sword, spear, or axe must be equipped for the skill to function.
Leveling
| Level | Block chance | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 26% | 30 s |
| 2 | 32% | 60 s |
| 3 | 38% | 90 s |
| 4 | 44% | 120 s |
| 5 | 50% | 150 s |
Notes
- SP cost is a flat 30 at every level.
- Only weapon-based physical attacks can be blocked; magic and non-weapon damage pass through.
- Requires a two-handed sword, spear, or axe to remain in effect.
