+==Design==
+Counter Shield transforms the Keyblade into a golden shield with white, cloud-like embroidery and a lightning bolt at the center. A diamond rests at the top of the shield, and a blue heart-like symbol is at the bottom.
 ==Mechanics==
-In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Counter Shield is the Formchange of the [[Hero's Origin]] Keyblade, associated with [[Guardian Form]]. Its basic combo consists of Sora throwing the shield in an upwards horizontal strike before spinning the shield and dashing forward into enemies, then hurling the shield in a [[Strike Raid]]-esque fashion. The first combo finisher has Sora throw the shield in a circular fashion around himself, and the second has him raise the shield above himself as an electric forcefield surrounds him, then expands outward.

+In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Counter Shield is the Formchange of the [[Hero's Origin]] Keyblade, associated with [[Guardian Form]]. It has a base duration of 30 seconds and a maximum combo length of 5. Its basic combo consists of Sora throwing the shield around himself and spinning it forwards, and the finishers consist of a spin attack and an electric forcefield. The Formchange's biggest boon is being able to perform devastating counters. Sora can use the [[Shield Charge]] ability to charge the shield by blocking and replace the [[Attack]] command with a reprisal up to two times. [[Wrathful Fist]] simply summons a giant fist from the shield, while [[Wrathful Flurry]] summons a barrage of fists.
-While in this Formchange, holding {{button|square}}/{{button|dsx}} allows Sora to hold the shield in front of himself and walk around while doing so. Attacks that hit him in this state replace the [[Attack]] command with a reprisal- the first level being '''Wrathful Fist''', which summons a giant fist from the shield, and the second being '''Wrathful Flurry''', which summons a barrage of fists to attack the enemy. Wrathful Flurry has the shield glow yellow, while Wrathful Fist has the shield glow blue.
-The Formchange finish command has Sora transform the Keyblade into a chariot pulled by an ethereal [[Pegasus]]. The Attack command is replaced by '''Thunder''', allowing Sora to ride around the arena while casting bolts of lightning on any enemies present.

+===Abilities===
