i do kinda miss the grinding of the forest boss, i also like the buffed enemies, the parry is hard to do bc there is no(i think there is no) clear way to see the parry window, unless that's the first few seconds you press Q, i also like the new way for the EXP gain and also the new map, but that's all the features that stuck out to me, keep up the hard work cuz i rlly like this game
I thought it was in the last update, but maybe its new from this next one, but if you look at the color of her shield, it should be a different color for the first second or two AND her eyes will be closed/she doesn't move. That is her parrying.
After the window closes she'll start "idling" a bit and the shield color changes. That is just blocking at that point.
