Parrying was one of Breath of the Wild’s most fun combat features.

Even a scray Lionel could be killed with just a Rusty Sword.

First off, make sure you’re playing as a character that can parry, such as trusty hero Link.
Then, hold the block button which is LZ on the Switch.
Finally, just before a beam or other attack is about to land, press the Y button to do a light attack.
Though, rather than being a light attack, your character will parry!
And there you have it! That’s how you parry in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity!
