Parry is a mod that provides a chance to trigger a melee finisher when blocking while channeling. Simpler than the traditional counterattack maneuver which requires channeling at the proper timing of the attack, this mod can trigger automatically.

TipsEdit
- Certain melee weapons block more damage than others, increasing a Warframe's survivability while parrying.
- If getting close to a ranged enemy, they will most likely melee hit you with their weapon to defend themselves, this maneuver can be parried and the player can perform a counter attack finisher on the enemy.
- Finisher attacks triggered by Parry are affected by True damage.
- When combined with Reflex Guard, triggering Parry no longer requires the user to block but does still require channeling.
- Disarming enemies' ranged weapons (with effects like Loki's Radial Disarm) will force foes to switch to melee attacks that can be parried.
- Certain special attacks can not be parried or trigger a counterattack finisher, though they will be blocked.
- Grappling hook attacks (such as from the Grineer Scorpion or Infested Ancient Disruptor) will be blocked but not parried.
- Normal knockback and knockdown rules for blocking still apply. Heavy enemy attacks like Seismic Shockwave or the Shield Lancer's charge will still trigger knockback but will not knock down a blocking player.

Patch HistoryEdit
Update 17.0
- The counterattack maneuver can now be performed manually by channeling immediately before blocking an attack. Before this version, the Parry mod was the only way to stagger for a counterattack finisher.
- The Parry mod will only work if one is channeling while blocking against melee attacks. When successful, a counterattack will be initiated, which momentarily stuns an enemy and allows them to be killed using a melee attack prompt similar to Stealth Attacks.
- Can no longer deal parry-reflection damage when AFK
- Introduced.
