Counterattack

MAX RANK:

6

- Strengthens Counterattack.
- Use Guard to block an enemy's attack, and then counter with a strong smash while the enemy is startled.
- A successful Guard does not guarantee a successful Counterattack. Counterattacks are only possible when Guard is used at precisely the right moment.
- You cannot use Counterattack if your shield is broken.

<Controls>
Mouse: Press Smash[Right-click] after a successful Guard
Keyboard: Press Smash[D] after a successful Guard

Additional Details

• Fiona-only skill.
• Requires a small shield to use. Large shields (i.e. Kite Shield) cannot be used to execute counterattack.
• Can be used immediately after a successful guard
  • Upon successful guard, let go of guard and press smash to perform Counterattack. Guard must be dropped; Counterattack won't trigger while the player is guarding.
• Has a high chance to stun the enemy.
• The second counterattack can be aimed by pressing a directional key. If not aimed, it will simply strike forward in the direction of the player's front.
• It is possible to stun more than one enemy with counter attack, provided they are within the splash range of the weapon.
• Consumes high amount of stamina.
• Decreases Shield durability when used.
• Gives about 1/6 of a bar of SP per enemy hit, far above what its damage would suggest and if used on a spider mob it can fill up over a bar and a half.
• Cannot be used with Heavy Stander. See Heavy Stander Counter.
• This skill is great for break-off the part that is used to attack, such as Blood Prince's lance.
