Have the fencing swords a parry attack

[Frosty_Mentos]

Kinda like forge's club where you use it as a defense the fencing sword should block an enemy's attack or of several and do an Aoe lunge in retaliation to the enemy or enemy pile slashing them all and damaging for big damage.

That's what I'm talking about!

I tried to reference this as a thing but it got deleted or didn't save.

if you do this then you basically create the best weapon in the game without even trying

If they do it then they'd make the most badass weapon in the game entirely. New way of fighting would be fun and encouraged if they do either weapon reworks or make this weapon to have that ability. Like, imagine riposting and and parrying or dashing through enemies like in forge if things are set up and well done with conditions of doing so. With a bit of mastering, I think characters could learn some fun new tricks since they've fought so many hordes of enemies by now...

It should mostly benefit the characters with no crazy damage buffs more. Wanda has her watch and does damage, Wolf has double damage, shouldn't gain that kind of damage for riposting though if he does, Wigfrid is fine since she's generally a skilled actor to pull something off like so.

Damage of that lunge would be perhaps the damage 3x damage from lunge, have a small cooldown for this and PARRY the damage then THRUST through into your foe! Could be most badass thing to do. Might have great implications for PVP. Like if there's two people with those swords the last one to parry gets the hit.

It would be cool if you could right-click while it's equipped and the player would do a brief .5 second parry state and if you get hit during that it does a cool parry attack. Maybe have a cooldown of a few seconds which you can do the parry action to prevent spam

you seem unacquainted with the term "power creep".

You attempt to justify this for the less able survivors but in the end people would simply use this strong option on the strongest survivors so nothing is really fixed.

nothing can excuse a no-tech weapon basically becoming a pocket bone armor under the pretense of fun.

I know what the powercreep is, I'm just trying to find a good excuse for regular survivors to have some bit of fun kind of damage while damage characters and brutes have their own simple way of fighting
