Per the instruction manual: Flash Attack (Using proper timing during guard and guard-break)
I've gotten most of my flash attacks stemming from mashing Y repeatedly against the enemies that are carrying shields. Most of your attacks will be blocked, but flash attacks should insta-gib them.
To tell when you've done a flash attack with Galen, you'll see him spin in a complete circle, slashing everything around him. This can be repeated a few times in an attack chain. Number of times may be limited by character level or weapon level. |

To get flash attacks without using block/guard for any character:
Against shielded opponents, hold down Y for about 2 seconds when attacking. This will do an overhead attack that will knock their shield away. Immediately hit Y and you will perform a flash attack (and if other shielded opponents are nearby you can do multiple attacks, as rahsz noted.) If the target dies from the initial attack, you will not get a flash attack. You always stop flash-attacking if there are no shielded opponents within reach.
The other way is to use Lightning Reflexes. When you cast it you will immediately block and then automatically counter (flash attack). The block period is very short and you must block an attack to get the counter. Levelling up LR will speed the recharge rate but does not (unfortunately) increase the length of the block time.
I got the achievement when using LR against giants. |
