Pressure (Slave Pits)

Pressure is the mechanic that accelerates the combat between missed blows, simulating the growing chance of making a mistake in a strike exchange between two fighters. It's displayed during combat through a two opposing arrows icon in the center right side of the screen that grows and becomes more red when the pressure escalates.

Every action (attack, parry, dodge, chain, risposte or use item) has its time reduced by the pressure factor. The pressure starts at 1.0 and is multiplied by 0.75 with every missed attack (or item use), to a minimum of 0.05.

Some talents or terms refer to 'pressure percentage', which is just a way to see the pressure as a growing percentage and is simply calculated as [(1.0 - pressure) * 100]%.
