Why this works
Press guard as the attacking limb starts moving toward Emma, not when the enemy first winds up. A successful parry builds FP for Koo and increases enemy stagger.
Practice without guessing
Use visible game feedback—FP, stagger, the command menu, and the cleared-save prompt—rather than an invented frame count or unsupported carry-over list. Reset at camp when a repeatable drill is useful.
Sources and verification
The route is limited to first-party launch guidance and the listed completed-game hands-on source where shipped behavior requires confirmation.
Requirements
- A normal guardable attack
- A clear camera view
Steps
- 1
Observe one attack
Watch the difference between its wind-up and forward swing.
- 2
Guard near impact
Use guard as the limb starts travelling toward Emma; no single frame count applies to every attack.
- 3
Confirm success
Look for the defense result, FP gain, and stagger progress.
Common Mistakes
- Treating every enemy cue as if it had one universal timing window.
- Spending resources without checking what the current encounter requires.
