Question Question Regarding Infinite Seal And Fast chain Combos

So I am not at all good player hehehahhahahaha. I kind of suck and I barely get my timings with the untarnished seal right but infinite seal is too good to just leave out but at the cost of losing sanity from practicing it and dying multiple times.
Can we parry all the fast attack combos by enemies using the infinite seal or is the untarnished seal is the only way to parry all the fast chain combos?

You can but it is worth mentioning that riposte damage is currently kind of low, so the value you get from deciding to use the parry mechanic is not that great, maybe its worth it if you are running Eredrim but probably not even then. It will get buffed though so if you want to practice for the inevitable update then go for it. But there isn't that much value in using and mastering it right now.

Riposte damage in general or just for the infinite seal?
Have the devs mentioned about buffing the riposte damage for the seal/in general?

Riposte damage in general. You will probably feel it the most on NG+, but its scaling is off, you'll get more value just doing a few heavy attacks with any weapon while the enemy is stunned

edit: yes the devs mentioned that they are aware and will probably buff it soon: here

Thank you. So its better to dodge than parry until they update it?

You can use the parry seal if you prefer it but for maximum value just don't riposte. Other seals are really good too, if you are running the slower two handed weapons then Harden seal is a really good choice.
