English term or phrase: swinging
Parrying at the end of a combo sometimes does not break the titan. They may continue swinging their weapon in a bid to get a hit in you. In Infinity Blade II, titans can break your parry while doing this and sprain you for reduced damage. This continues until the titan is successful and hits you, you successfully block or dodge, or your parry eventually breaks them.

lanzar / asestar golpes


Explanation:
Tal y como lo entiendo yo: en ocasiones, los combos (combinaciones de ataques) de los titanes no se ven interrumpidos ("break") al detener uno de los golpes, sino que los titanes siguen lanzando / asestando golpes para tratar de superar tus defensas, hasta que logras esquivarlos o bloquearlos con éxito.

vaivén


Explanation:
Ellos continuan el vaivén de sus armas...

De lo contrario sería "blandir", como recomendó Patricia, aunque blandir, en esgrima es un "flourish."
