== Description ==
Adds a chance to block physical attacks entirely when activated. The player will be forced to pause momentarily whenever Parry blocks damage. For example, if the user is attacking a monster while Parry is activated and they guard an attack, they will stop attacking the monster for a brief period of time. If the user was standing still or running when Parry blocked an attack, they will still be penalized with a short moment of time until they can attack or use skills.

== Information ==
*Must be wielding a Two-Handed Sword.
*Has the same properties as [[Guard]] for blocking damage, such as how an attack following Lex Aeterna will remove the [[Lex Aeterna]] if blocked.
*If Parry blocks an attack while its user is casting an interruptible skill, the skill will be interrupted.
*If Parry blocks an attack while the user is running, they will appear to stop quickly while the Parry animation plays, causing awful position lag. They are not actually stopped: the flinch caused from Parry blocking an attack stops a player from being able to attack for a short time, but does not immobilize them even if it appears so.
*Parry will not block [[High Speed Cart Ram]], [[Soul Destroyer]] (neither the magical or physical portion of it) or [[Acid Bomb]].
*Parry works even if a player is under the effect of status such as frozen or stone cursed.
