Upon starting the battle, you’ll default to using the Traveler at level 80, and your Elemental Skill will be replaced by a Parry. to defeat the opponent quickly, you need to deal a large amount of damage by blocking their attack using Parry.
The Parry works differently from Beidou’s, as you’ll only counterattack when you perfectly block the enemy the moment they attack you. Sowait for the enemy to charge, thenimmediately press the Elemental Skill to block, and thenimmediately let go to counterattack.
You can tell when an enemy is about to use a Honed Technique when theirsword glows brightly. Watch out for it to know when to begin your Parry to deal even more damage against them.
After completing a perfect Parry, revolving red blades will circle around you. These will greatly increase your stats, allowing you to deal a large amount of Normal Attack damage once. After using a Normal Attack, the Valor stacks will disappear. You’ll need to do another perfect Parry to build up stacks again.
