For Honor combat system is quite complex and slow compared to other fast paced games. One combat move that needs to be mastered first is the parry.

For Honor: Parry Guide

Tutorials are quite long and players may not have the patience to go through with it, according to gamerant. Parrying though is quite easy. Start by locking on to a target and assume the same stance as the opponent. Look at the same direction as the enemy's weapon is facing and make sure it's pointed the same way.

For Honor players simply need to push the RT or R2 controller button once the opponent strikes. If the parry is executed at the right time, players can drain the enemy's stamina. This makes it easy for the character to make a counter attack.

Parry is Better Than Dodge

Dodge is another combat move but Parry is better based on the game's battle system. The latter move allows players to find opportunities during their duel but requires patience. Parry though allows its users to initiate a series of counters. Hitting the enemy early on will prevent him from launching an offensive of his own. This can grant players with an easy level win.

The combat pace in For Honor is slow and cumbersome to players accustomed to games that offer fast-paced action. Players in this Ubisoft game will have to think first before engaging the opponent in combat. Parry is not a complicated skill but using it properly can help players survive their matches. Simply mastering the basics though can help players get on top of the multiplayer battles. A video tutorial is available for viewing here.
