Counterattack: Difference between revisions

{{nihongo|'''[[Counterattack]]'''|カウンター|Kauntā|lit. "Counter"}} is an ability in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and it costs 2 [[AP]]. It is meant to be equipped in conjunction with [[Guard]]. It allows the user to quickly get in an attack directly after blocking an attack with Guard, it allows you to branch the first attack off into a combo, as well. It's useful for fights where the enemy has a fast recovery rate and will generally launch right back into an attack after [[Sora]] blocks it. It can also be used when parrying an attack by perfectly timing an attack and blocking the opponents attack with it.

'''Note''': It seems some enemies, especially later on in the game, can also use a form of this. [[Riku]] uses an odd form of this attack in the [[Destiny Islands]], where, if hit onto the ground, he kicks back through Sora. He also uses this when you fight him for the [[Riku (Enemy)|second time]] at [[Hollow Bastion]]. He taunts you and holds his blade in a Guard-like stance and if Sora hits it, he quickly spins around and hits Sora, often launching into a another combo right afterwards.
