If you are wondering how to counter an unblockable attack, you are not alone. Whether it is a Valkyrie attack or a Shaolin kick, deflecting is an important skill to know. Standard and Basic ground blocking methods do not work for air-based attacks. However, some specialized techniques can help you deflect such attacks. Let’s take a closer look. Read on for some useful tips and tricks.

Shaolin has a deflect
The deflect ability on Shaolin is a critical part of combat because it provides a counterguard break when an opponent fails to block an attack. Normally, the follow-up from a kick or punch is useless, but a deflected attack allows a Shaolin to counterguard. By deflecting an unblockable attack before it hits, a Shaolin can gain access to tools that are not available in other styles.
Valkyrie has a deflect
Among the many abilities that Valkyrie has, her Shield Tackle is a valuable defensive ability. It slams the opponent to the ground and causes a bleeding effect that drains their life. While it is possible to block Shoulder Pin, it is very rare for your opponent to be able to successfully do so, and it deals a significant amount of damage.
Standard block
A Standard block to deflect an unblockable strike is a relatively easy way to defend yourself in For Honor. While it may not be the most effective, it is the strongest type of block that is available. It is triggered by various characters and will always bounce. However, be aware that attacks that are made from Zone Attacks will not bounce at all, and a Standard block to deflect an unblockable strike will not work.
Standard parry
If you’re trying to deflect an unblockable attack, you must use a Standard parry. A parry is a defensive action in which you push a lever forward when an attack is about to hit you. Parry can deflect all kinds of attacks, from normal attacks to special attacks, projectiles, and Super Arts. Performing a parry properly requires some anticipation and timing.
