This stance lasts up to 5s or until you parry 3 attacks, whichever comes first.

Guide
It's a perfectly balanced build that is both very tanky and very offensive at the same time
You will use greatsword mainly for PvE and for PvP you swap between GS and PnS
I recommend fighting SS in PnS mode because we can constantly interrupt their BBD with our shield bash + shield dash combo
Landing the javelin- If you land the javelin remember that you get a free auto attack off, aim upwards towards their head for crit damage!
