yeah I mean, it’s wouldn’t be a common thing, a human parrying an attack by an alien hunter lol. But as far as game-mechanics, it is sort of necessary. Otherwise FT would have zero defense for melee attacks. Zero! lol
An easy way to trick a parry-happy human is to lunge like you’re about to attack, but instead fire a net gun, or just wait and hit them a second later. Or pull out a plasma pistol and melt them. Or throw a combistick lol, since that can’t be parried. As the hunter, you have options.
