Middle-earth: Shadow of War · Combat skill upgrade
Fatal Counter
Fatal Counter changes a successful, well-timed counter from knocking enemies down to instantly killing grunt enemies.
How it works
The Perfect Counter skill uses the blue prompt as the timing cue and knocks down enemies when countered well. With Fatal Counter, well-timed counters instantly kill grunt orcs instead. The guide explicitly says this effect does not work on Captains or Beasts, so the described instant kill applies to grunt enemies rather than those excluded enemy types.
