Try dodging over parrying. Much more forgiving. Not nearly as precise. You can dodge most attacks the first time just by waiting to see when the attack is going to hit/land after the windup. I’d say by the end, I was dodging about 80-90% of the attacks, even from things I had never seen before just because the wind-up system is fairly predictable. Once you get the hang of it, dodging is super easy.
