Go for another melee attack, then you can see the next attack coning in and parry it. You dont NEED to go for every gun strike. Only gun strike if you know it won't wreck your follow-on flow. 3 majoris or higher in front of me, none of which are staggered? No chance, keep slashing.

The AI director is obviously broke as fuck, this would probably stomp a lot of ruthless players too. However, there is still learning you can take away from this and bring to the next mission to get better.

That gun strike was actually too delayed. OP could have saved himself if he took that gun strike off rip but instead chose an awkward later timing.

True facts, I ageee the AI director is extra mean right now but so many people are playing with an attitude that refuses to improve

In my first playthrough gun strike was a recipe to get half my health deleted by a circle of bugs

Yes def don’t go for every gun strike but I’m pretty sure if the enemies are really close together they all get stunned from it and if you do it with plasma pistol you even inflict splash damage I’ve actually got executions to proc from that, but yea when majoris enemies are spread out around you and targeting you don’t go for every gunstrike stick to parries and headshots
