You do realize exemplar parries are automatic with the Killer version, right?

No they arenāt. You still have to press back or the right on the right stick to use them.
Iāve bought several packs of guardians now, and I really like putting the Snake guardian on Cinder out of all Iāve tested. Between his burnouts and the snakeās poison effect, they work well together for very quick wins.
However, despite the many packs Iāve bought, I still can not get a fractured ward or a vampire bat guardian, so there are two whole guardians I still canāt try out yet.
I will say though, the exemplar seems a bitā¦unusual to me. The parry sometimes seems to work on itās own, or not at all, and timing is difficult for me to nail correctly. Sometimes Iāll have held the block button in anticipation of an incoming attack, but given the amount of time I hold to block and the actual hit connects, Iām honestly surprised most of the time when the exemplarās effect does work. When I actually want to trigger it intentionally, it almost never seems to work.
If itās possible, can we possibly get a way to practice with the exemplar, maybe simulate that in training or something? I can not accurately nail the timing to intentionally use this mechanic correctly, as it seemsā¦unreliable in itās current state.
The ram is also useful in a number of situations as well, and has saved Rash from taking some huge damage.
Wellā¦ All of my Exemplars at Perfect Killers. Go figure. Guess Iād better get used to using them (or find these āautomatic parriesā everyoneās talking about). On the bright side, I got a Perfect Killer Bat, which I like very much.
Also, the Ram has grown on me. Being able to escape damage by mashing is actually kinda nice. Especially in big fights with Omens or Power Level 5s
I got perfect bat today as well, bringing back 25% health, itās amazing

Vampire bat is my favorite so far. Basically anything that has healing powers, I think itās the most important advantage in this mode.

I find the bat, ram and snake are the best so far. Just for the extra health for me, the passive damage to the other guy, and the combo breakers.
I can NOT unlock the vampire bat! How are all of you getting him? Iāve bought pack after pack of these spirit animals and I still can not get him!
If itās pure RNG based luck, itās sure being stingy to meā¦
I bought an Epic pack (the one that costs 3000 credits) and it contained an epic vampire bat. Itās down to pure luck I guess.
RNG is RNG.

Only have Ram, Snake and Bat so far. Ram is probably my favorite with Snake a close second. The Bat is also really useful, but I manage my bought and crafted items pretty well so I donāt often need healing or shadow gain as much in match for recovery. Once I get the Bat that also grants Instinct, my opinion may change.
I think thereās a bit of a bug with the Vampire Bat (and possibly other in-match heals like the Potion of Restore).
In between multi-fight matches, it works just fine, carrying over to the next round. It even works out fine for single fights usually. However, Iāve had cases (especially after multi-part fights) where the Bat gave me a perfect and the health percentage upon exiting to the world map was much lower, around the 60s and 70s.
