Wo Long Deflect Not Working: How To Fix

Is your deflect not working in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty? Learn the common cause (equipment load!) and how to fix it by managing your gear or leveling Earth Virtue for better defense.

Hey there! So, you're trying to parry in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, but it feels like your deflects just aren't landing, even when you're sure you're timing it right? You're definitely not alone – this is a super common issue many players run into.

But here's the good news: it's not a bug or a glitch messing with you. It's actually a deliberate game mechanic that's probably causing the trouble.

The main reason your deflects aren't working in Wo Long is that your equipment load has gone over 100%. When that happens, your character basically gives up on deflecting and will just try to dodge instead. That's a real bummer if you were counting on parries to get through a tough boss fight!

To get your deflects back in action, you've got a couple of options. You can either:

• Unequip some of your heavier weapons or armor pieces.
• Level up your stats so your character uses less Spirit when attempting a deflect.

Honestly, we really recommend focusing on increasing your max weight limit as soon as possible, no matter which path you choose. Even if you swap out gear to fix the deflect issue right now, having a higher weight limit will always be beneficial. To do this, you'll want to invest your Qi into the Earth Virtue. Pumping points into Earth will directly raise your weight limit, and it does so faster than any other Virtue. So, get that Earth Virtue leveled up!
