I wanted to make this post after multiple people not understanding someones question on how to riposte( NOT MASTER STRIKE) Because i too had the same question why it wouldn’t work. In combat tips in the top right it claims after a parry ( PERFECT BLOCK) your next attack must be parried likewise, not master striked nor dodged. Which is true for enemies. You can’t static block dodge or master strike their attacks. But not for you. Enemies act like its a function sometimes. Not reacting to a riposte more often than a nuetral attack. If was working we would see dances of death with back and forth parrying and riposting. Sadly this is not the case so we are forced to go for master strikes only at high level
