How to Approach Parry and Dodge Timing in Absolum

Treat Absolum as a timing challenge: watch for enemy attacks and use deliberate parries or evasions instead of relying on button-mashing. The supplied video describes the game as more like a fighting game than a traditional beat ’em up, but it does not provide specific inputs, timing windows, or enemy-by-enemy instructions.

Start by observing an enemy’s attack animation. Then try to time a parry or evade against that attack rather than attacking without pause. The available material does not establish which defense works for a particular enemy or how early to activate it, so look for the response that fits the attack you’re facing.
