# Shield ‘n Parry Mod<\/p>\n
This mod makes combat require a higher amount of skill while still letting new pvp-ers have a chance. Learn to parry attacks, bash with your shield, and reflect projectiles.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## So, What’s Actually New?<\/p>\n
### 1. Weapon Parrying<\/p>\n
Press **R** (configurable) with a weapon just before an attack hits you.<\/p>\n
* **Perfect timing** blocks damage and staggers the attacker
\n* **Weapon matters**: Faster weapons = tighter timing windows, faster cooldown recharge
\n* **Feels badass**: Screen effects, sounds, and knockback when you nail it
\n* **Fail?** You get slowed down briefly. Practice makes perfect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
### 2. Shield Bashing<\/p>\n
Hold block with a shield, then press **the parry key**.<\/p>\n
* **Charge forward** and knock enemies back
\n* **Applies slowness** to anything you hit
\n* **Works with any shield** (vanilla or modded)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
### 3. Projectile Reflection<\/p>\n
Time a parry right as an arrow or fireball reaches you.<\/p>\n
* **Deflects it back** at the shooter
\n* **Gains extra power** on the return trip
\n* **Works with most modded projectiles** automatically
\n* **Extremely satisfying** (and extremely hard) when you reflect a skeleton’s own arrows<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
# AND YES YOU CAN PARRY FALL DAMAGE!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## Extra Stuff & Compatibility<\/p>\n
* **Three new enchantments**:
\n * **Parry Recovery** (less cooldown)
\n * **Parry Window** (easier timing)
\n * **Guarding Lunge** (stronger bashes)
\n* **Special compatibility with CombatRoll mod**: Successful parries refill your dodge charges
\n* **Fully configurable**: Turn features on\/off, blacklist certain attacks
\n* **No performance hit**: Efficient code that doesn’t lag your game
\n* **COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE FUNCTIONALLY** with Tactical Shield Overhaul!!!<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
**You are allowed** to use this in modpacks, make videos about it, or add any new compat addons to it.<\/p>\n
