Riposte Warfare
Lore
In combat, especially swordfighting, getting the timing of an attack right is half the victory!
Effect
You can perform a riposte, i.e. attack immediately after performing a Perfect Block. To perform a riposte, press the attack key as soon as your weapon touches the opponent’s during a Perfect block. A riposte can only be defended against with a Perfect Block. This technique is very effective against inexperienced swordsmen, and a duel of two master swordsman is often a chain of Perfect Blocks followed by ripostes until one of them slips up.
