55 Focused Insight is a Spirit Skill Tree ability exclusive to Kliff. While in Focus mode, you automatically face incoming attacks and counter them with an instant parry. This transforms Focus from a Spirit regeneration tool into an aggressive counter-attack setup, making it one of the strongest defensive skills available.

77 Focused Insight adds an automatic parry to Focus mode that triggers against any incoming melee strike. When an enemy attacks while Focus is active, Kliff turns to face the threat and counters instantly. This removes the need to time your parry manually, making it far more reliable than standard blocking in high-pressure situations.

1919 How it Works
2020  
2121 While Focus mode is active, Focused Insight automatically detects incoming melee attacks and triggers an instant counter. Kliff faces the attacker and parries their strike without requiring any additional input beyond maintaining Focus. The auto-counter triggers against all melee attacks, including heavy strikes, combo chains, and charge attacks from elite enemies.
2222  
2323 The Spirit cost of 1 per second applies to the Focus mode itself, not to each individual counter. As long as you have Spirit remaining, Focus stays active and every melee attack that connects will be parried automatically.

2727 Focused Insight makes Focus mode far more versatile. You can maintain Focus to regenerate Spirit while simultaneously being protected against melee attacks.The auto-counter triggers against melee attacks only. Ranged attacks, area-of-effect spells, and environmental hazards still hit you normally. Be aware of mixed attack patterns from bosses.Focused Insight is particularly effective in early boss fights where bosses rely on heavy single-hit melee attacks. Activate Focus to counter their biggest hits automatically.Combine with Nature's Snare for a defense-oriented build that handles both projectiles (Snare absorbs ranged attacks) and melee threats (Focused Insight parries them).The 1 Spirit per second drain is very low, making it sustainable for extended defensive windows. Invest in Spirit upgrades to extend the duration of your Focus sessions.Use Focused Insight as a safety net during complex encounters with multiple enemies. Activate Focus when surrounded, and the automatic parries buy you time to find an opening.Focused Insight is widely considered one of the best early skills to invest in. The three Abyss Artifacts needed to reach Focus Level 3 pay for themselves many times over in survivability.
