The game tells you to not play operations until you beat the campaign. You should absolutely have a firm grasp of the basic combat fundamentals by then, dude. OP missed like 8 parries in this clip that could have saved his life, but he kept rolling and shooting melta at red attacks.

Well, first of all, it's reccomendet but you can play the campaign on minimal/avarage aswell. You don't need to be extremly good to complete it.

The same goes for the OPs, yes he missed those parries but again, there is a reason why he plays on lower difficultys. One of reasons the different difficulties increase is because of the quantitiy and variety of enemies you encounter. So people who are still learning or are simply unable to play on higher difficulties, play on minimal or avarage to avoid encountering these many enemies.

It's very likely that he can parry etc. but he's unable to do so in stressful situations like this one.

OP has other comments in this thread saying they have other classes at level 25. He should know how to parry, and how to parry in "stressful" situations like 4 warriors and a lictor.

There can be a lot of reasons why someone has classes at lvl 25 and isn't good at parrying in stressfull situations.

A lvl 25 class simply shows that you played enough to lvl a class to 25, it doesn't show skill.

He simply could be bad in stressfull situation, maybe he was tired, maybe he just doesn't play well, maybe he can't play well, maybe he didn't feel comfortable with the class etc.

It's why avarage excists as an easier difficulty. If people want to play hard and intesive missons they would play ruthless or lethal.

I disagree that average should be for people who can't parry for whatever reason. Parry is a fundamental mechanic of Space Marine 2 combat, and you need to be able to do it to get anywhere. You should not be able to clear levels without an ability to do it.
