COUNTER BUILD

CLASS

INFORMATION

Counter builds rely on counter rate to avoid attacks and deal DMG back to the enemy. Counter rate is not calculated in EP.
Counter works by each counter chance being an individual attempt to gain one counter stack. When receiving an attack (failing to block and dodge), the counter stack will be consumed, countering the attack.

Disadvantages:

Requires micro-management for best effects
Rng-reliant
May lack DMG when overly defensive (Shaman)

CLASS

Soulfist

Offers passive counter chance
Buffs / Mana gain after countering
Ability offers permanent DMG buffs while offering high survivability

Slayer

Offers guaranteed counter stack gain after using ability
High cost ability

Shaman

Grants shield and freezing on demand
Synergistic only with specific items

RING RECOMMENDATIONS

Ring

You may refer to the ring recommendations in Demonic build.

Counter-type additional rings:

Titan's Band (Rare) : Current HP % heal after countering *

Thorn Script (Mythical) : Sacrificial counter *
Crimson Talon (Unique) : Permanent CD boost after countering *

Niche:

Storm's Caress (Unique) : Counter chance for non-crit playstyles
Glyph of Growth (Mythical) : Counter chance after receiving critical hit

* = High refinements preferred

BUILD : SOULFIST

Weapon / Shield

Weapon: Depends on your playstyle.

For more survivability focused you may check out the weapons and shields in Block build.

Rotation: Spam DEFEND for the more counters. When near death use class ability for guaranteed counters. If the enemy is defensive and you survive, use class ability early on for DPS buffs.

For more DPS focused you may check out the weapons and shields in Critical build.

Rotation: Spam ATTACK instead of DEFEND most of the time. The rest is similar to survivability build. This style would be utilizing the passive counter chance as more DPS potential instead of relying on it fully.

Armor

Armor: Depends on preference

Example

SS: Gepard, Juliette, Nao Tomori, Mash Burnedead (⭐ Can't use Class Skill)
EX: Isolde EX, Gintoki EX

In general, anyone with effects for countering or innate counter chance buffs

BUILD : SLAYER

Weapon / Shield

⭐ Any MANA weapon ⭐ ;

Unique: Rhongomyniad / Serenity Thorns
Legendary: Azure Blade / Grand Staff of Cataclysm > Polar Star (Requires a critical hit, unreliable) / Usurper (Insignificant)
Mythical: Mystic Moon / Crescent Skies / Sirene's Song (best) / Dreadknight (100% CRIT)
Genesis: Astral Cutlass
Shield: Shield of Chivalry / The Castlemaiden / Tyranny (If you are lacking DMG)

You'd want to use the class ability once every 4 turns for the counter stacks
Abilities that can stall the enemy, or offer high dodge, can allow for more effective counter stacking

Armor

Armor: Tidal (Mythical) / Merman (Legendary, only if you aren't running shield of chivalry)

Example

SS: Gepard, Juliette, Nao Tomori
EX: Boa Hancock EX

In general, anyone with effects for countering or innate counter chance buffs

BUILD : SHAMAN

Weapon / Shield

Weapon:

Syfing (Legendary) (If you don't already have a shield equipped)
Else, use any Drain/DPS weapon

Shield: Shield of Chivalry (Legendary) / Any other shield you have
