Nine Sols Parry

Timing decides the outcome of a parry. A precise parry, made in time, pushes the foe back and deals internal damage, while an imprecise parry made too early or late deals internal damage to the player instead. Internal damage builds up over repeated imprecise parries, and it heals slowly over time or faster with a medicine pipe. Holding the parry button performs an unbounded counter, which has to be released right before the attack lands, and projectiles can be thrown back at their shooter by parrying them with a counter.

Perfect parries produce Qi, which powers talismans. A talisman deals internal damage to the enemy it is attached to, and holding the use button makes it explode, converting internal damage into actual damage. Three regular talisman types can be crafted: Transmute Unto Life heals the player when it kills an entity, Transmute Unto Wealth drops gold, iron and emeralds along with extra experience, and Transmute Unto Qi produces one Qi charge per kill.
