PPR — Perfect Parry & Counter

A Valheim combat mod that rewards skillful blocking. Land a perfectly-timed parry to unlock a devastating counter-attack, reduce incoming damage, and mark the moment with a visual cue above your head.

Features

Perfect Parry Detection

Time your block precisely when an attack lands to trigger a Perfect Parry
The parry window is tighter than the vanilla perfect-block window (default: 0.1 s vs vanilla 0.25 s)
Works with melee weapons that have a secondary (special) attack

Counter Attack

After a successful parry, press your secondary attack key within the counter window (default: 0.6 s) to trigger a counter
The counter fires your weapon's special attack at high speed (default: 2.5×)
Only one counter per parry — use it or lose it

Damage Reduction

While the counter window is active you take reduced damage (default: 50%)
Toggleable and adjustable in the config

Guard Gauge Protection (v1.0.1)

On a successful perfect parry, the stagger (guard) gauge does not increase
The hit's stagger contribution is reverted the instant a parry is confirmed
Consistent perfect parrying means your guard bar stays clean no matter how hard the hits are
Toggleable in config

Head VFX

A VFX effect appears above the player's head on successful parry
Disappears automatically when the counter is used or the window expires
Prefab name and position offset are all configurable
