How to Perform a Parry in Sonic Frontiers?
Defense is very important to protect the blue hedgehog from enemy attacks and give it an attack advantage. Therefore, the first skill to be learned in Sonic Frontiers is parry. To perform a parry, players have to press the dodge buttons (L1 and R1) at the same time. So, when Sonic faces an enemy, wait patiently for the enemy to attack you.
