Guard just before an enemy attack connects to trigger Perfect Guard. Consecutive Perfect Guards build Break, and a Broken enemy can be hit with a Riposte.
Perfect Guard is a timing-based guard. Press guard just before impact instead of holding it early; the clean timing builds enemy Break without spending normal guard energy.
After enough Break is applied, the enemy becomes vulnerable. Use the Riposte prompt quickly, because the opening is the point of the whole guard chain.
Practice against slow humanoids before bosses. If you panic-hold guard, you are training the wrong rhythm; release, reset, and time the next hit.
Use Seal pages, the equipment database, and the Shell comparator when deciding whether your run is guard-heavy, harden-heavy, or sidearm-heavy.
