Chapter 4 Shielding

4.1 Shield slide stun

Shield sliding horizontally into the enemy will stun them for a short duration if you have enough speed. This stun is long enough to get 1 quick jab.

This move is most useful in narrow corridors where it cannot be countered by overhead jab or overhead slash.

4.2 Shield bash

Another way to stun someone is to land on them from above whilst shielding. Even a landing from a very small height can be enough to stun someone.

In order to be able to jab after the stun you should hold S as you land. If not then you will bounce off the enemy and will be too far away to be able to jab before their stun wears off.
