Where Winds Meet Parry Guide: Timings & Frame Data
Quick Answer: Perfect parry = press E (keyboard) or R1 (controller) the instant before an enemy attack lands. Red glint attacks are parryable and reward Qi drain plus counterattacks. Yellow glint attacks are unblockable — dodge only. Windows are more forgiving than Sekiro or Elden Ring, but weapon type, stance, and difficulty all affect your effective deflect window.
