Assassin’s Creed Mirage Combat Guide: How To Parry
To parry attacks in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, you need to press the corresponding button. For the mouse and keyboard, that button is Q; for Xbox and PlayStation, you will need to press LB or L1, respectively. However, that is not all.
While in combat, keep an eye out for when an enemy comes at you and starts glowing white. This is when you need to press that button. Basim will then use the dagger in his left arm to Parry the attack. After a successful parry, the enemy will be stunned, giving you a massive opening for Basim’s one-shot skill.
Some enemy’s special attacks won’t succumb to Basim’s parry skills. These attacks will make the enemy glow red. It is best to dodge them away and choose your next move.
