Buckler still has the longest parry frames but a small shield is the best option for this tech. Once you get better you can ditch the block. For those who don't know you press L2/ left trigger to parry and R1 / light attack to riposte.

Note: Before commenting its only a partial parry, please pay attention to the video. The video shows blocks after a partial parry (soldier) and after an early parry (Margit) . Holding block allows the player to block the next hits in the chain because it instantly puts you in the block animation with no delay or reaction timing. It also allows you to setup parries without being exposed so its more beginner friendly. This is a method to learn how to parry and to use in critical situations (low HP) if necessary, its not an incentive to hide behind a shield to get your guard broken.
