How to block & parry in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

by

In Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, mastering the art of blocking and parrying is crucial for success, yet the game doesn’t immediately teach you these skills.

Just like Black Myth: Wukong, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers features swift, agile combat that emphasizes quick movements rather than raw power. However, it’s important to note that dodging alone won’t save you, particularly when facing off against human opponents wielding potent melee attacks.

In such situations, you can use strategies like dodging or intercepting attacks first, absorbing some harm, and then striking back with a retaliatory move of your own.

If you’re new to this and unsure about the right approach to unleash its potential or how to go about it, rest assured, we’ve got some helpful tips for you!

How to block in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

To prevent an attack, you need to arm your weapon with a defensive skill. Once armed, simply press ‘R2’, ‘RT’, or ‘Shift + Right Click’ just prior to an adversary attacking, and you’ll sustain significantly reduced damage.

In contrast to traditional action RPGs, this game doesn’t offer a dedicated block button for constant use. Instead, players must strategically develop their character, Wuchang, to perform the blocking move effectively. Some weapons you acquire will come with the Discipline ability pre-equipped, while others require you to unlock it through the skill tree.

For instance, the Vermillion War Club Axe was discovered with its blocking capability already activated, yet to activate it against the Lashing Whip Longsword, you must initially unlock Sword Counter within the Impetus Repository. Once Sword Counter has been unlocked, it can be utilized on any longsword you acquire provided the Discipline is active.

Essentially, when choosing your discipline, remember to opt for a more defensive block instead of a more offensive one. Keep this in mind during your selection process. In certain scenarios, particularly if the Weapon Skill is already quite defensive, it could be advantageous to forego it for something that boosts your damage dealing capabilities.

How to deflect

In the martial art of Wuchang’s Fallen Feathers, you can dodge incoming attacks effortlessly by timing your block perfectly as the enemy is about to strike, thereby nullifying any potential harm. However, it’s important to note that there are certain conditions attached to this technique.

This device is effective solely against opponents armed with weapons; it doesn’t respond to punches, kicks, or magical spells. Consequently, if you’re in a fight with a giant insect that attacks using its claws, you won’t be able to rely on it for protection.

However, it’s important to note that not every weapon possesses the capability of automatic deflection. For Longswords, this skill is accessible only after acquiring the Sword Counter ability. On the other hand, Axes, Spears, and One-Handed Swords do not offer this particular feature.

Clash

Clash functions much like Deflect, yet it’s unique in that it nullifies all damage from an opponent’s attack. However, unlike Deflect which is triggered during a block, Clash activates when you attack instead.

In order to maximize effectiveness when using a weapon or discipline that involves clashing, it’s crucial to synchronize your strike so that it meets your opponent’s at the same instant. This skill is quite challenging to perfect, especially for attacks with longer preparatory animations, but becomes highly effective once mastered.

This method isn’t suitable for everyone, but it offers an excellent means to expand defensive capabilities for offensive weapon types such as the Spear.

Just keep in mind that, just like parrying, it only works against enemies wielding weapons.
