Flash of Steel is a combat trophy for 20 kills using counterattacks out of a Perfect Parry. It builds up naturally if you parry a lot in sword fights.
Tap L1 right before an attack connects to Perfect Parry. Follow up with the counterattack and land the kill. Repeat until you reach 20.
Weak bandits and swordsmen are easy targets. The count carries across fights, so there is no need to farm in one go.
