Counterattack (ability)
| ||||
|
Counterattack (Japanese: 応撃 Response attack) is an ability which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. As its name suggests, the ability allows units to counter-attack foes, even if the user's range would not normally allow them to do so. It is most commonly seen equipped by the Death Knight and many other lategame bosses who lack natural means of ranged combat, in order to prevent the player from landing a free attack on them without risk of retaliation.
Although the skill can only be learned by one playable unit, it can also be bestowed on units temporarily by use of the Retribution gambit.
