Does en garde do the same thing as guard? It has no tool-tip

also, what does parry do?

En garde is needed to be able to activate parry. A well timed parry can negate the damage from an incoming attack.

To explain: Parrying means you have to stand still and take an attack that is often easily dodged by just moving. The timing is incredibly tricky, and if wrong you're getting hurt probably badly. All parry does is negate the damage, it doesn't add a stun or any kind of reward for the risk.

En guarde is not required for using a sword to thrust (I used to think so never having thought to check xD).
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.
