Lance Counter

For the Counter enchant, see Rank 8 Enchants#Counter.

For the Normal variant, see Counterattack.

For the Brawler variant, see Combo: Counter Punch.

Description

One weakness that lances have is that it's hard to attack an enemy that is close to you. Expert lancers, however, developed Lance Counter to compensate. Lance Counter activates faster than a normal Counterattack, but the position is not maintained as long; one must know exactly when the attack is coming to utilize the attack. The attack power of Lance Counter is directly proportionate to the enemy's attack. Definitely a must-have when fighting a powerful enemy.

Details

A player with Lance Counter loaded

• Requires a Lance to use.
• Identical in function to Counterattack; using the combined damage of the opponent's and the player's to counter an opponent's physical attack and knock them down. Damage is calculated as: Skill Enemy Damage % + Skill Player Damage %
• The player must use this skill instead of normal Counterattack while equipped with a Lance.
• Unlike normal Counterattack, Lance Counter does not consume the player's Stamina over time.
• Like normal Counterattack, Lance Counter repels melee Normal Attacks, Smash, Charge, Lance Charge, Charging Strike, Focused Fist, Spinning Uppercut, Somersault Kick, Dischord, Act 1: Inciting Incident, Act 2: Threshold Cutter, and Flash Launcher..
• Like normal Counterattack, Lance Counter does not work against Windmill, Stomp, Assault Slash, Drop Kick, Pummel, Wire Pull, Puppet's Snare, Act 4: Rising Action, Act 6: Crisis, Act 7: Climactic Crash, the eruption from Act 9: Invigorating Encore, Dual Gun Normal Attacks, Grapple Shot, Bullet Slide, Shooting Rush, Bullet Storm, Doppelganger, Ranged, Magic, Alchemy, Classic Spirit Weapon Awakening, and many Monster and Pet Skills.
• Like normal Counterattack, the Critical chance for Lance Counter depends solely on the target's Critical rate, plus the player's skill's Critical bonus. Player's base Critical rate is ignored.
• Like normal Counterattack, Lance Counter does not inflict wounds.
• Like normal Counterattack, the user cannot move after loading Lance Counter.
• Unlike normal Counterattack, Lance Counter cannot be manually canceled after loading it.
• Cannot be loaded during normal attack or while other skills are in use.
• Can be loaded while stunned and attacked, interrupting and knocking back the attacker.
  • It may not be loaded while being knocked back.
• Lance Counter will automatically deactivate after 3 seconds after loading it.
• Lance Counter is subjected to 5 second cooldown when the skill successfully triggers or after the cancel animation completes.
  • If Lance Counter is interrupted while loading, it will enter cooldown.
• This skill is essential for blocking Smash with a Lance, as normal attacks often fail against moving enemies.
• Elves cannot learn this skill, as they cannot equip Lances.
