Master the Art of Parrying in Assassin's Creed Mirage: Unleash Your Ultimate Defensive Skills!

With Basim now a playable assassin in Assassin's Creed Mirage, there are even more targets to eliminate and guards to deal with. The game's increased emphasis on stealth has made it thrilling to operate in the shadows, but there are also occasions where drawing swords and engaging in combat in the open is necessary.

Given that Basim isn't the most skilled warrior capable of absorbing damage, it is crucial for players to understand how to defend themselves effectively in Assassin's Creed Mirage. Timing plays a significant role in this, whether it's for evading or parrying. This guide will provide the essential skills needed to help players master the art of parrying and counterattacking.

Parrying in Assassin's Creed Mirage

During combat, players have the option to parry incoming attacks by utilizing either the L1/LB buttons on gamepads or the Q button on the keyboard. Yet, continuously spamming this button leaves Basim vulnerable to deadly counterstrikes. Successful parrying necessitates precise timing, specifically when an adversary's weapon aligns with the Hidden One.

Parrying is only possible with normal attacks, indicated by the enemy glowing in white. This rule applies to all guards encountered in the game, except for the brutes, who possess extensive armor. Conversely, attacks from enemies with a red glow can only be evaded, and attempting to parry these attacks will result in players taking damage.

Mastering the attack patterns of game adversaries is crucial for players, regardless of their enhanced armaments and equipment. Achieving this requires initially relying on evasive maneuvers to elude harm and comprehending the exact timing of enemy strikes. Subsequently, endeavoring to deflect attacks through parrying will unveil its effectiveness in swiftly disposing of foes.

Each successful parry weakens the opponent, leaving them vulnerable to instant kills or stunning. This allows Basim to swiftly unleash his own combinations on them. It's worth noting that even ranged attacks can be parried, meaning thrown knives and arrows won't harm Basim if he successfully parries them.

With this expertise, Basim can confidently navigate Baghdad and its environs without worrying about his own demise. Rather, it is the guards who should tremble in fear, unless they have already fallen victim to assassination.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
