I think I have a misunderstanding of the games combat system is supposed to work because I don't really see the use in blocking or parrying? I'm still pretty early into the game I think but I put on the kite shield which makes guard always active the whole turn and the dagger which makes parry always active the whole turn but they don't seem to actually do that I think...? Maybe I'm misunderstanding that too but regarding the first thing, blocking stuns the enemy but it feels like a waste of a turn because it only stops the attack of one enemy and so if there is more than one enemy (which there always is) you're just gonna get hit by all the other enemies as well. To me it seems like the best way to go about it is to just spam the heavy attack to kill all the enemies as quickly as possible and just hope it won't get blocked. If someone could explain some things that I might be missing that would help!

Hey there Kuzu,
It can also be the item descriptions that are not good enough to explain.
But basically the effect of the Dagger and Kite Shield only activates when you Parry and Block respectively, the difference is that without them, you can only Parry and Block the enemy you choose, while with them, the Parry and Block will work for every enemy in the same turn.
Stunning has 2 benefits:
- It removes 1 source of damage for 2 turns.
- It allows to freely attack the stunned enemy without him being able to counter your attack.
Since you can only target a single enemy, it means the others are free to act against you on that turn.
I don’t know if this covers you doubts, there is also the TUTORIAL section in the About screen within the game, it may contain helpful information regarding this.
