Dodging - Many attacks can be avoided by dodging them – touch the dodge icons (arrows) on the bottom left and bottom right to dodge that direction. Heavy Weapons – Heavy weapons can be used block attacks by touching the block button, or one of the two dodge buttons. Dual Weapons – When equipped with dual weapons, you cannot block – touch the center icon will make you duck instead. Blocking an elemental attack requires the correct elemental shield blocker (see Elemental Weapon Modifiers, below), otherwise you will block the blow but still take elemental damage. Sword & Shield – Shields lose their strength after repeated blows - even the strongest shield will eventually crack and no longer protect you. Blocking - You can block attacks by holding the block icon at the bottom center of the screen. Clashing - When a parry is successful, it will sometimes lead to a sword clash - touch the screen repeatedly to push the enemy away, stunning them in the process and leaving them vulnerable to attack. Perform a swipe attack just before the Titan’s attack is going to hit you, and make sure to swipe in line with the direction of the Titan’s attack.
Parrying - Parrying an enemy’s weapon attack requires timing and direction. Slashing - To attack with your sword, dual weapon, or heavy weapon, swipe your finger on the screen the direction you wish to attack.
