Parry
In-game tooltip: assume a defensive stance to parry frontal attacks, negating damage and recovering Energy on each successful parry. The stance lasts up to 5s or until five attacks are parried, whichever comes first. Shortly after a parry, one input performs a sweeping strike against enemies in front and the other a long-distance dash slash; both branch attacks apply Wither on hit. Shorter base cooldown in trio mode.

When to use it
First slot; core defensive button. The trio cooldown reduction is why it stays slotted in group play as well as solo.
Builds using this
