13.1.1 Attack Categories
Almost all offensive skills have an associated Attack Category, which determines the type of attack and which defenses are strong or weak against that attack.
Each Attack Category has different strengths and weaknesses, and it is generally wise to vary your attacks among the different categories so your opponent must often switch defenses, making it more likely that your attacks will connect.
The Attack Categories are:
Attack Category Strong Vs. Weak Vs.
--------------- ---------- --------
- Shoot Parry, Block Duck
- Slash Dodge, Duck Parry
- Splash Parry, Block Jump
- Stab Jump, Duck Dodge
- Touch Dodge, Jump Block
