Gaming Terms to Know

Parry

A defensive move that deflects an incoming attack at the exact moment of impact, opening a brief window for counter-attack. High risk, high reward.

Dodge Roll

A quick evasive tumble that grants brief invincibility frames. Use it to slip through enemy attacks and reposition behind them.

Stun Lock

A state where repeated hits prevent the target from moving or acting. Stun-locking enemies is the core of crowd control in action games.

Combo

A chain of attacks executed in rapid succession without letting the opponent recover. Longer combos deal bonus damage and fill your special meter.
