How to easily Block and Counter enemy attacks in Forspoken
By mastering some of the core combat elements in Forspoken, you can make some of the RPG's hardest encounters significantly easier, allowing Frey to survive longer in a fight while dealing some serious damage.
Although the game's parkour mechanics and different Attack Magic skills are the most popular options, there's another element of combat that players are advised to invest some time into getting familiar with.
This is the Block and the Counter mechanic which, when used correctly, can help you make some of the hardest fights in the game incredibly easy.
Like most titles with counter mechanics, Forspoken gives you a great deal of variety in how you want to approach a combat scenario. Although constantly blasting through enemies with magic is one way of going about it, learning how to counter incoming attacks can be extremely useful, especially when you run out of stamina and are vulnerable to an enemy attack.
Today’s guide will go over how to effectively block and counter enemy attacks in Forspoken.
Forspoken doesn't exactly have a dedicated block button as Cuff automatically blocks some of the incoming damage that's aimed at Frey. Fortunately, there are some ways for you to improve the game's blocking mechanics, with the first step being to unlock the Shield Slot Spell.
This is a Purple Magic Spell that falls under the Offensive category. Once you have it unlocked, you will then be able to slot it into one of the magic triangles that's located at the bottom right of the abilities tab.
By slotting it into one of your active abilities, you can activate this spell at any moment by pressing the R2 button. Hence, every time you see an incoming attack, you will be able to actively use the Shield Slot to block most of the damage.
