Working out how to unlock parry in Nioh 3 will be a great addition to your offensive and defensive capabilities. Unlike Sekiro, the parry in Nioh 3 is purely defensive in that it doesn't damage enemy Ki (stamina) so it never leads to a stagger and a Grapple attack. It does, however, give you Ki regen and Arts ability energy, letting you be aggressive and deal more damage. It's also more efficient than regular blocking purely in terms of Ki cost

If you want to unlock this Samurai ability, you can actually do it almost immediately—in fact, it can be the very first skill you unlock. All that said, here's how to get the parry ability in Nioh 3.
