Block-Counter

Block-Counter, dubbed as Counterguard in Kingdom Hearts II, is an ability that appears in Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It allows the user to counterattack immediately after a block with the Attack command.

Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts II, Counterguard is an action ability that costs 4 to equip. While Guard must be equipped to use this ability, parrying an attack also allows the ability to be used. Sora unleashes a fast, invisible blast that hits all close-ranged enemies and can interrupt most attacks, dealing Neutral damage that bypasses physical defenses in the process.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Block-Counter is an ability panel that must be linked to a Block ② or Block ④ panel. It is activated by attacking within 0.4 seconds after blocking an attack, upon which the user attacks with their combo finisher. During the attack, the user is invincible and will always land a critical hit.

In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Block-Counter is an accessory ability. Block must be equipped to use this ability. When active, the Overclock ability Auto-Counter allows Block-Counter to be used automatically. It is activated by attacking immediately after blocking an attack, upon which Data-Sora attacks with his combo finisher. If the target is nearby in the air, Data-Sora instead automatically jumps and attacks with the first part of his combo. Data-Sora is invincible during the counterattack.
