💡 How to Use
Parry is the primary defensive engine for Sovereign Blade builds, converting every offensive strike into significant damage mitigation. It is strongest when paired with cards that fetch or replay the blade, allowing the player to ignore traditional Block cards in favor of Forge scaling.
⚡ Synergies
card
Summon Forth
This card ensures Sovereign Blade is always available in your hand to trigger Parry's block effect. It also provides essential Forge scaling, making the blade a more potent tool for both offense and defense.
card
Conqueror
By doubling the damage of Sovereign Blade, this card encourages the player to prioritize playing the blade as their main action. This focus naturally maximizes the defensive value gained from Parry during high-damage turns.
relic
History Course
This relic automatically replays the last Attack used in the previous turn, which triggers Parry for free if Sovereign Blade was played last. This provides a consistent source of start-of-turn block to help mitigate incoming attacks before you play any cards.

Fencing Manual
Since Parry's utility is tied to the viability of Sovereign Blade, the massive Forge bonus from this relic keeps the blade relevant throughout the run. High Forge levels ensure that the deck's central engine remains powerful enough to justify the energy cost of playing the blade repeatedly.
