Revision 6

Overview

Counter is a defense skill in Crimson Desert, available to all three playable characters (Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka). It belongs to the Spirit (Green) branch of the skill tree.

Skill Details

Effect

Attack right before being hit to interrupt an enemy attack. Counter turns an incoming attack into a damage opportunity by striking the enemy during their attack animation.

Combat Tips

Counter requires even more precise timing than Parry, but it combines defense and offense into a single action. Instead of just blocking, you deal damage while negating the incoming hit. It requires Keen Senses Level 3, so invest in the Spirit tree early if you want access to this skill by mid-game.
