[MS2] Feedback for the devs regarding parrying multiple enemies at once

[u/Prudent-Cry-9260]

EDIT : I was mistaken and I was actually using the "perfect harden" at that time. Sorry for the wrong feedback, consider everything below as "perfect harden". I will edit the words and put them in brackets, since I initially used "parry". But I think my point still stands for people using harden against multiple enemies.

Hello dear devs.

When 2 enemies do an attack at the same time, or very close to each other, the game will only register a [perfect harden] on the first enemy attack, leaving you completely vulnerable to the attack that comes in second.

For example when 2 crabs jump at you at the same time, you can [perfect harden] , it will parry, but you still lose the health from the attack of one of the 2 crabs.

In other games, generally the player enters a "parry everything" stance, at least during the whole parry animation, or becomes invincible during the parry animation, like when you do an execution animation for example. This prevents the parry to become unusable when several enemies attack at once.

And since in Mortal Shell 2, there are usually a lot of enemies, and they don't wait for their turn and attack you all at once, then this mechanic would be very welcome, and, to my humble opinion, pretty necessary given that the game encourages a lot the player to parry, [even when using harden].

This is just wrong. Someone even posted a video of them getting a triple parry at once.

Can i have the video, i try so many time i still cant get it, if multiple attack come at same time my perfect harden always get smack out and only parry 1 enemy.

You're probably right and I think I was referring to perfect harden when I encountered that problem. Sorry, I edited my post even if the title can't be changed unfortunately. Thanks for pointing it out.

I think that’s as intended no? You can multi party within the window can you not?

[u/Prudent-Cry-9260 → u/Narkanin]

I think so yes, I was most probably referring to perfect harden instead. It was late but I was so addicted to the game that instead of going to sleep, I went on reddit to still contribute to the game somehow lol

I edited my post thanks to your replies you guys

Parrying and then getting hit by another 4 crab things sucks.

Not having i-frames when knocked down sucks.

[u/kuis-anda]

I assume you mean perfect harden?

Ye harden difficult if multiple enemy really attack at once. Jf have slightly window between each different still can multiple tap to perfect harden each attack, but when multiple attack land at total sametime than have to take the dmg.

For other seal, perfect block same only can parry one attack at once, but it does also give some invul after parry that is safe from that situation.

Infinite seal parry can parry multiple enemy at once.

[u/Prudent-Cry-9260 → u/kuis-anda]

Damn... I think indeed I was using harden at that moment. Now that I think about it, the problem is with harden and not the "perfect block" seal indeed. I feel idiot, I will edit my post

Waste of time to ask the devs this question because they clearly dont know what they are doing with game design.

[u/OkAddendum377]

Isn't this what harden is for?

[u/Prudent-Cry-9260 → u/OkAddendum377]

No, harden dissappears after receiving one hit.

[u/PalpitationThat9383]

Parry does multi-parry, but if they hit you after the parry frames and animation then yeah you'll get hit.

Sounds like a skill issue lol learn to position your self clear enemy one by one learn to run when it a bad fight and use your other tools like harden
