What it does

Gives Physical/Magic Resistance during this skill animation by (9 * lv)% [this is same as Cross Parry that give phy/magic resistance], If you receive physical damage first during this skill animation, recover your MP by 10MP. However, if you receive magic damage first instead, then recover your MP by 50MP.

Note

This mp recovery only triggers once per cast, even successfully reducing multiple hits. Though… the only benefit from reducing multiple hits is to accumulate more total MP gain for Drain Recall MP recovery calc., Unaffected by any motion speed modifier (including Swift combo tag), Gain 1 E.Burst stack after successfully parrying Physical or Magic damage with this skill [Doesn't give stack if parrying frac hits since this skill cannot reduce frac dmg tho]. Seina

Note

can gain 2 Eburst stack instead 1 stack but that need precise timing. Siphon Barrier’s “valid parry animation” is the entire skill animation, and it can generate 2 E.Burst stack if the 2 hits parried are exact 16 frames away from each other [inside a single Siphon cast], and this 16 frames cooldown resets to 0 if 2 hits are parried in 2 consecutive Siphon casts

One-Handed Sword bonus

MP recovery from receiving physical/magic damage will be doubled
