Parrying incoming enemy attacks and performing executions are the key to staying alive in Space Marine 2; and they often go hand in hand.
Most Tyranids in Space Marine 2 rely heavily on melee attacks to overwhelm their enemies. While many players will simply try to kill an enemy before they can attack, but facing so many Tyranids at once will often result in incoming attacks from all directions.
