Hey guys,

Are there any Valiants out there who still haven’t learnt how to RE-PARRY? I can see folks casually reparrying the 2nd or 3rd hits but I can’t do it for some reason unless I dex and parry by mistake!!! I am alright at parrying most attacks but somehow cannot time the 2nd hit for the love of god!! Therefore, non contact defenders are a major source of pain for me unless I can tank/glance/regen their hits particularly when the attack values are high!! Defenders like Havok, Nova, Shuri give me a very hard time; however I can usually beat them! But them and others coupled with nodes like Mighty Charge give me PTSD!!!

Will I ever learn to reparry or are their some skills you can never learn in this game and still get by!!????

    Yesterday, saw in Brian Grant live where he shows the hand movement, I might try later if stumble upon a fight which needs reparry

    i can do it reliably on 2nd hit if opponent uses medium attack but if opponent uses light attack it becomes considerately difficult

    I got good at parries and reparries fighting against Rhino. I hated fighting him in early days until i got used to standing close and preventing his dash mediums with unstoppable. The quick reaction on parries made me good at reparries as well when i faced non contact mediums.

    I am good at intercepts but cannot do light intercepts or even backdraft intercepts. Need to learn both and yes i am valiant too.

    Is reparry not a skill everyone knows....? I do it constantly to mitigate block damage as best possible on tricky enemies.

    Now light intercepts on the other hand, I'd eat my own hat before nailing that timing

    Keep trying it, you'll eventually get rhythm and muscle memory.
    Don't do tap and move finger off screen completely, just do quick tap, wait, tap.

    Just keep practicing! Also make sure the defender has atleast 1 contact hit, champs like Shuri or negasonic you can’t reparry since all their hits are non contact.

    It takes specific champs to parry non-contact, it can still be done.

    anyone here read the ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” series? it’s nerd humor, goes with video gaming and comics still, I CANNOT be the only one here… book 4 maybe? where the secret to learning to fly, is throwing yourself at the ground and missing?

    to everyone saying “accidentally, and sometimes”, that’s honestly the best place to start. panic mashing block to save your life because you know you dropped the timing on that first block. if you put yourself in that situation ONLY, practice there, it becomes easier.

    maybe practice fight your highest level Ebony Maw? ProfX? someone with a no contact first medium. use a champ a level or two below them to test it, so you actually get the panic mode. it may help.think it took me maybe 42 tries to get comfortable with it.

    Ebony is a terrible champ to practice reparry against - only his first light makes contact, do you've only got one shot. At least use someone like Stealthy or Baron Zemo, so their other attacks make contact.

    As a Valiant, Reparry is something I manage sometimes.

    I'm feeling happier about my own feeble light-intercept skills after reading this thread, though 😉

    I can tend to reparry the third hit sometimes, but it is definitely not a skill I'm good at.

    In this thread I have learned that I'm not alone. I can only remarry accidentally.

    But you’d have to file a divorce first

    Never knew this. I could depart him about 90% on the second hit, but always wondered why I couldn't ever do it on his other attacks. Thanks.

    I can do it, good at timing stuff like intercepting, reparrying, intercepting dashes with heavies and occasionally the breaking of the block if I'm in a good mood
