How to learn Perfect Riposte
The following manual supplies the book unlock for ranks marked “Manual unlock” in the rank table. Skill points and time are spent when you purchase the rank. See the skill book guide for manual requirements and planning examples.
Counter after a Perfect Block, later after a Perfect Dodge
Perfect Riposte is a Swordmastery skill that lets Coen attack in the Critical Direction after a Perfect Block to deal Critical Damage. Omniblock is its prerequisite.
Rank 1 unlocks the riposte, rank 2 adds +10% damage on it, rank 3 allows it after a Perfect Dodge as well, and rank 4 adds +20% damage. Ranks 3 and 4 are marked as manual unlocks, so you need Perfect Riposte Manual for them. All four ranks cost five skill points and four time segments.
The percentages are separate rank effects rather than a running total; the rank table lists each one with its cost.
