parrying vs blocking,


Parrying is 100% damage avoidance and opens enemies to critical counter-attacks. Not all attacks can be parried and the timing is harder. Blocking just absorbs damage, but nearly all attacks can be at least partially blocked. How much damage is absorbed and stamina you lose depends on the shield and your stats.


regular vs heavy attacks


Heavy attacks do more damage but are slower and use more stamina. Some enemies have weaknesses against certain heavy attack/weapon combos, and some weapons have special heavy attacks.



and the above kick/jump moves.


Kicking can stagger or interrupt some enemies, or you can kick enemies off a ledge. If an enemy falls to its death you get the souls, even if you didn't even attack it.
