ELDEN RING Parry Frame Data 1.16

Intro

Data was extracted from Elden Ring App Ver. 1.16, Calibrations Ver. 1.16

All frame data is relative to 60 fps, meaning 10 frames would mean 1/6th of a second.

Startup frames are initial frames of parry animation where your character starts swinging shield/weapon but this will not actually parry an incoming attack.

Active frames are the animation frames where if enemy attack connects, it will be successfully repelled.

There are also recovery frames. These are the frames at the end of parry animation and they cannot repel an incoming attack. Since exact amount of recovery frames depend on next queued action such as attack, item use or dodge roll, they will not be included in this guide.

After successfully parrying an incoming attack game gives you a very small window of invulnerability so you can queue up your critical hit even if being attacked by multiple enemies.

Ash Of War: Parry

Use this skill in time with a foe's melee attack to deflect it and break that foe's stance. This provides an opening to perform a critical hit

Usable on daggers, curved swords, thrusting swords, fists, claws, and small and medium shields.

I will also include here "Buckler Parry", while it is technically separate Ash of War, it is essentially similar to this one, lacking any additional effects and being only available on Buckler shield.

Does not consume FP and works the same way with no FP available.
