Unfortunately, it is not possible to use Parry to ward off every single enemy attack. Certain enemies will charge toward Nor, and their attacks will go through the guard. These moves are called Break Attacks, and they cannot be parried, so it is better to dodge them. Alternatively, players can use Nor's sidearm to disrupt the enemy while it is in the middle of the Break Attack. This method not only damages the enemy but also lets players reset and prepare for their next move.
