How to Parry in Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Turn the tables on the corrupted.

Ember Lab's first title, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, is out, and players have been surprised by the depth of the difficulty this indie game has on offer. Combat is tense and challenging, with enemies that hit hard. To overcome these corrupted spirits, Kena must use all her skills, including the parry.

To parry in Kena: Bridge of Spirits, players must use their shield ability (L1) just as an enemy attack connects. Doing so will stun attackers and slow time briefly, giving Kena a moment to counterattack. Kena can also retaliate with special parry attacks once she's leveled up. For information on how to level up in Kena, check out the guide below.

Because combat in Kena requires a firm grasp of the controls and Kena's abilities, learning to weave the parry in battle is essential for overcoming the challenging encounters the game has on offer. Parrying is an invaluable tool at Kena's disposal, so be sure to use it in conjunction with the shield to mitigate damage from enemies.

Be sure to keep an eye on the shield's health, as it changes from blue to red when it's about to break. Should the shield break, Kena will lose some health and get stunned.
