Billy able to spam parry in some cases

Time Bug Occurred: Multiple times throughout game

Basically you're able to spam parry to chain them together very quickly. In the video he uses one parry about one second after activating the first one. I don't believe this behavior is intended, even with the parry cooldown item that should only take 2 seconds off the recharge. My friends and I were able to recreate this in the practice space sometimes; it seems to be able to happen at complete random.

He parried the trooper the first time, then he parried u the second.

Parrying a melee doesn't reset the cooldown on parry. I thought that might have been what happened, but I tested it in the gym and yeah it doesn't work like that

yeah billy parried the minion then you second time. parrying a melee does reset cooldown on parry

So parrying minions resets the cooldown but not heroes? Is that intended behavior? If so that's pretty jank

it also resets cooldown if you successfull parry anything. heroes included

parrying minions and heroes resets the cooldown.
I will send you a video.

alright, damn I was testing it last night in the gym and I swear it didn't work like that but yeah I guess it's intended. Now, moving the goalposts here, should it work like this? Not against minions imo; towers maybe but this interaction feels very jank. Very little visual clarity as to what's happening, and 4 people watching the replay couldn't figure out what was going on. Ty for clarification though

Honestly yeah, it’s a bit tricky, but it’s been around for a while and people have been using it to hold the wave without taking damage. It also used to stun the troopers, but now they made it so they don’t get stunned.

Next time, check if theres a Trooper next to the one you are trying to melee, if he already parried before.

you have to hear the sound and keep in mind where are the minions/if enemy is close to one. For feedback you can use https://forums.playdeadlock.com/forums/general-gameplay.2/
