Forspoken, new action RPG from Square Enix, has arrived on PS5 and PC as the first big gaming launch of the year.
After weeks of speculation, the game has been met with a mixed reception. Nevertheless, many fans are still enjoying it. And they are eagerly learning about everything the magical world of Athia has to offer.
Forspoken comes from developers Luminous Productions. It stars Ella Balinska (Netflix’s Resident Evil) as Frey Holland.
Frey is a New York City girl down on her luck and facing jail time. In a crazy twist of fate, she ends up in Athia after finding an enchanted cuff.
In Forspoken, Frey battles against the Tantas. They are a tyrannical ruling clan that control Athia. Frey must use her freshly discovered magical powers to explore the mysterious world, defeat dangerous foes, and find her way home.
Athia is a huge fantasy open-world. Thankfully, Frey can make use of unique traversal mechanics to dash and fly across the massive world using magical parkour.
Not only is the world large, it’s also incredibly dangerous. Luckily, Frey can use magic spells and abilities against her enemies. However, players want to know how to counter.
So, let’s take a look at how to counter in Forpsoken…
How To Counter In Forspoken
Defensive combat in Forspoken mainly revolves around Frey’s ability to dodge and evade using parkour. However, sometimes it isn’t possible to get out of the way of an attack.
In many games, it is possible to counter or parry to defend against enemy offence. And the same is true in Forspoken.
This is how to counter in Forspoken: Press Triangle when the counter prompt appears while in combat. If timed correctly, the Cuff Counter ability will activate to turn the tide on incoming enemy attacks.
As successfully parrying involves a well-timed button press, it is essential for players to be paying attention. Otherwise, it is really easy to miss the narrow parry window.
The Cuff Counter ability is especially useful when Frey gets surrounded and is unable to parkour her way out of danger.
