How to parry in Avowed
Briefly

In 'Avowed', parrying is a crucial defensive mechanic that players must unlock before use. To unlock the Parry ability, players need to allocate at least one ability point in the fighter, ranger, or wizard class trees. Parrying provides strategic advantages, allowing players to perform greater stuns and fill a stun meter with successful blocks, ultimately enabling powerful counterattacks. The game offers a generous timing window for parrying, making it an accessible yet rewarding skill as players engage in close combat scenarios with various melee weapons.
To parry, you must first unlock the Parry ability in the first row of the ranger tree. You can unlock Parry once you place at least one ability point in either of the fighter, ranger, or wizard class ability trees.
A successful parry will play a clanking sound as the attack is deflected by your weapon and stagger the enemy. Additionally, parrying attacks will greatly fill the yellow stun meter below the enemy's health bar.
