What it does

The twinaxe's parry, on the core Parry's trigger and window (RMB: a 0.45 s guard whose first 0.16 s parries). A parried melee blow is caught between the two blades: the attacker takes a counter-cut of 1.8x at once (a fresh HitSpec from you, 15 stamina on top of the guard's; with less stamina there is no cut), 1 gash and stagger 20 on top of the parry's 18 (38 in all: any S body is Staggered), and the Riposte window lasts 0.3 s longer (1.1 s). A parried shot is only parried: nothing to catch. Everything else is the core Parry's.

Edge: Tight Shears

Stagger 26 (+30 %).
