Yondu ignores parry [Not A Bug]

How does Yondu ignore parry!?! I ran into this issue on Master quest. No biggie, figured it was a little glitch......what's new, right? But just fought him again in arena and he ignored EVERY parry. How does he do this? Nothing in his Sig about it. Wolf?

    He has block penetration. Parry, block and damage still gets through. Try intercepting. It's not a glitch.

    I think that he only ignores parry if he is using his Yaka Arrow which makes sense, since he does not have direct body contact. Why should he be stunned if his arrow hits the opponent.

    What he said.. I noticed the same. His first strike is the arrow so I see why parry isn't working.

    I don't think he ignores it, just has different timing. Have to wait until last second to block to get a parry.

    The Screen actually says "parry" but Yondu does not get stunned

    Haven't seen that. If that's happening then it probably is a bug.

    I've been able to parry him pretty consistently by changing the timing of my block against him.

    This is the best reasoning i can come up with as well. or it's a bug. who knows with this game. still a huge pain in the ass to fight though. he killed more of my guys than anyone else in all of master mode.

    Why does magneto not stun on parry? 70% of the time it says parry but he not stun

    Is it versus a Tech or "Metal" opponent? If they are magnetized, they have a % chance of their skill failing.

    so then moon knight, guillotine, gambit etc. should also not be parried then, by this logic.

    your logic is incorrect. their respective weapons were held by their own hand(s), so the weapon connects to their body, hence, parry can be done. Yaka arrow is not touching Yondu at all while it's attacking. Logic

    Hey there OP. Sorry for any confusion that this caused. The previous comments are correct; Yondu isn't stunned when his Yaka Arrow is parried because it's a projectile attack I hope this info helps!
