Shield 'n Parry Mod

This mod makes combat require a higher amount of skill while still letting new pvp-ers have a chance. Learn to parry attacks, bash with your shield, and reflect projectiles.

So, What's Actually New?

1. Weapon Parrying

Press R (configurable) with a weapon just before an attack hits you.

Perfect timing blocks damage and staggers the attacker
Weapon matters: Faster weapons = tighter timing windows, faster cooldown recharge
Feels badass: Screen effects, sounds, and knockback when you nail it
Fail? You get slowed down briefly. Practice makes perfect.

Example of Parrying

2. Shield Bashing

Hold block with a shield, then press the parry key.

Charge forward and knock enemies back
Applies slowness to anything you hit
Works with any shield (vanilla or modded)

Example of Shield Bashing

3. Projectile Reflection

Time a parry right as an arrow or fireball reaches you.

Deflects it back at the shooter
Gains extra power on the return trip
Works with most modded projectiles automatically
Extremely satisfying (and extremely hard) when you reflect a skeleton's own arrows

Example of Arrow Parrying

AND YES YOU CAN PARRY FALL DAMAGE!!!

Example of Parrying Fall Damage
