Parrying explosions

[wooden jay]

Parrying an explosion should cause the explosion to damage enemies. This would make the exploding crossbow guys (arbalesters I think) so much less annoying

parrying a kamikaze instant kills nearby enemies

[rapid bluff]

they're called demolishers

I think it's good that there's some things that parrying isn't totally effective against on its own

[mortal void]

we call those 'unparriables'

[shut spruce]

birds

[mortal void]

no, unlike birds, unparriables are actually real

[shut spruce]

ive been fighting fake enemies all along

[wooden jay]

I agree but I also think it would be good if the things parrying doesn’t work against weren’t already really hard to avoid with movement

[mortal void]

I mean if we're talking like demolishers, it's not gonna hit the demolisher still
it's just a nice thing to have, and enemies where parries are meant to be particularly bad just aren't parriable

Imagine parrying a Bloodshot Malaise gold Kamikaze bat

[shut spruce]

bro what is that

It would make kinda sense since we parry literall fireballs and magic bolts and they fly straight back through walls and murder anything in their way so why not turn a parried explosion towards enemys.
With the Demolishoners it could be a fun thing to do if it just happens and otherwise Kamikaze bats are more often without enemys and setting one parry up to murder stuff... it´s really much easier to just slap the enemys down before trying that.
It could be rewarding butr if you miss it it´s punishing damage
