In brief

Master the three pillars of defensive combat in NTE: Neverness to Everness: parrying to immobilize enemies, simple and critical dodging to avoid damage, and the critical counter to strike back with power. These mechanics are essential for surviving the toughest battles.

In NTE: Neverness to Everness, understanding the combat mechanics of parrying, critical dodging and critical riposte is essential. This article will help you master them.

Parry

The parry is a defensive action that allows you to counter enemy attacks. To parry, you need to spot enemies marked with a circular symbol to parry above their head: this means they are performing an attack that can be countered.

Wait for the indicator to turn yellow. At the right moment, perform a basic attack, a redirect skill or an ultimate skill. A successful parry immobilizes the enemy, who becomes vulnerable to further attacks.

Dodge

Dodging is a defensive maneuver that allows you to avoid enemy attacks. It is essential for surviving tough fights, and comes in two forms:

  • Simple Dodge: Press the dodge button to move out of your attacker's attack range.
  • Critical Dodge: This technique triggers when you dodge just before the attack lands. You then benefit from a period of invincibility. A sound and visual effect let you know you have successfully performed the dodge.

Critical Riposte

The critical riposte is an extremely powerful attack that follows a critical dodge by dealing additional damage. It is a formidable asset that allows you, after dodging, to immediately launch a basic attack.

Note

It works very well against fast enemies, as it lets you quickly regain the initiative.

Frequently asked questions

How do you know when to parry an attack?
A circular symbol appears above the enemy's head to indicate that an attack can be parried. Wait for the indicator to turn yellow, then perform a basic attack, a redirect skill, or an ultimate skill at the right moment.
What's the difference between a simple dodge and a critical dodge?
A simple dodge moves you out of the attack's range, while a critical dodge triggers if you dodge just before impact and grants you a period of invincibility, signaled by a sound and a visual effect.
When should I use the critical counter?
Launch the critical counter immediately after a successful critical dodge to deal an extremely powerful attack with extra damage. It's particularly effective against fast enemies.

Key takeaways

  • Parrying immobilizes the enemy while waiting for the yellow indicator to appear, leaving them vulnerable to additional attacks.
  • The critical dodge triggers by dodging just before impact and grants a valuable period of invincibility.
  • The critical counter turns a successful dodge into a powerful attack that deals immediate extra damage.
  • The critical dodge is particularly effective against fast enemies for quickly regaining the initiative in combat.
